Long hours at work

[RaZr]

Hey i'm starting my new job april 1st and its 70 hours a week. Good money hell of a lot of OT but I only get one 30 min break a day and its 7 days a week. If I was able to premake 2 shakes with 2 cups of oats and 45 grams of protein and just drink them throughout the day do you think that would help me keep my body fueled?

Doesnt law state 2 - 15 minute breaks in addition to lunch ?

Do what I do. I carry a cooler with me with a protein bar, 10 peeled hardboiled eggs, sliced turkey or chicken and some fruit. Eat out of it the whole day every 3 hours. You dont need a microwave or any utensils. All that food can be consumed in like 2 mins. It isnt fun and you dont get to "enjoy" any of the meals but you can still get your protein in.

^ nice idea, i used to use a cooler bag untill handle tore and i just use a normal bag now and it doesnt make a big dif having a cooler bag imo. get proper food on tht 30min break and depending on wht kidn of work ur doing u shuld have 15 in ur day for a descent meal. u can relly on shaes for the rest. ground oats, whey and milk is a good meal with some fruit.

and 7 10hr days a week..? ur insane dude whatever their paying u...i wuldnt do it for any mans money!

I work long hours as well and mostly at night which really sucks. I have 2 small coolers one with food,sliced meats and a few sticks of string cheese,a salad,and some fruit. In the other I have my protien shake. I alternate between coolers every hour or 2 and drink at least a gallon of water every night. Makes for alot of bathroom breaks, but it's nice getting paid to use the bathroom. My half hour lunch is usually a nap.

Prep up some chicken and rice meals up fro t and take one to work each day

Make them big meals so that u can stuff them away in ur 30 min break

Also make up 3 shakes each consisting of sumat like...

300g cottage cheese
300ml milk
1 scoop whey
10g peanut butter
1 cup of oats

Now that is a killer shake right there and ur looking at some serious calories, u put 3 of them away each day and ur guna grow.

Remember if u do 3 meals and 3 shakes make good choices with ur real food meals

Eggs and oata for breakfast

Chicken breasts and rice for lunch

Steak and potatoes for dinner

^^ this.

Do the best you can. If that means shakes more often then you'd like, go for it - that's better then nothing at all, or those horrible bars. As Base said, make your own shakes and you'll still be eating clean.
