Quick meals
Anyone have any quick easy meals that don't take long to eat? Normally in the morning I slam a shake down between seeing patients and in the afternoon I can sometimes manage a tuna on whole wheat sandwich but am looking for some variety and something a little quicker. Needs to be healthy, and something that can be eaten fairly quickly. I am trying not to have more than 2 protein shakes a day and right now i have one mid morning and then pwo.
I have tried protein bars in the past and the only ones I will eat are the detour oatmeal as they have some better ingredients and higher calories. I have also tried some homemade protein bars but I can't ever get the consistency right!

All meals can be quick and easy if you cook in bulk over the weekends and store everything already portioned out in tupperware. Do you have access to a microwave at work?

Yeah I have access to a microwave and I cook all my meals in bulk every sunday and wednesday. The problem isn't making the meals, its eating. I can slam a shake down in 30 seconds, but to eat my chicken, rice, and veggies in my 30 seconds between patients is not doable. Even eating a sandwich sometimes takes too long especially if I am running behind. Trying not to have to resort to protein bars that I can just take a couple bites between patients or adding another shake.

Then you're not hungry enough! Granted, I can't get my meals down in 30 seconds literally, but about 3 mins is all I need to take care of 6oz chicken breast and some sweet potato.
Props to you for wanting to eat real food vs. shakes/bars, I know the latter is the much easier route. Try your best to make it work, but keep in mind a shake/bar is better then not eating at all.

Why not take a bite of food out of tupperware rather than taking a bite out of a protein bar?

Protein bar I can kind of hide, whereas tupperware looks a little unprofessional. I like the sweet potato idea, normally brown rice is my staple, but the sweet potato will certainly go down a lot quicker. Fastest I can eat my chicken and rice is about 5 minutes but sometimes I don't even have that long. I'll keep experimenting, the thread about the liquid egg whites got me thinking about going back to the days of chugging a carton of egg whites and snacking on some almonds so that is certainly an option lol.
