Do you have any lunch ideas for people who do not get time at work for lunch? My husband is a truck driver and he drives all day, with no break for lunch. All I have made him are burritos or sandwiches. There has to be something healthy that he can bite into while driving, that doesn’t need to be heated or eaten with a fork. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help. Love you guys.
Brad: I don’t know much about the truck driving industry, but couldn’t he pull over to eat?
Jess: Maybe he is on a tight schedule.
Brad: I can eat my full meal in 5 minutes.
Jess: Yeah, me too if I use the vacuum technique 😂.
Brad: If he is a truck driver, he can probably do that too.
Jess: Yes, I would pull over with a tupperware of salad and chow down.
Brad: You can’t just tell a truck driver to eat salad.
Jess: Really, why?
Brad: You need to say a chicken salad or a steak salad.
When you tell people to eat “salad” they are going to think it is just a salad with lettuce or spinach.
Jess: No, that’s not what I mean.
I’m talking about a big ass salad that you would see us make.
For example, this big ass salad recipe in Team Live Lean is amazing.
You can vary the salad with different ingredients, so it’s not the same every day.

Jess: Let’s assume he can not pullover and eat, so he has to eat while driving.
That sounds dangerous.
Do they really want him doing that?
Brad: Since you say you make him burritos and sandwiches, just make him a healthier version of a burrito or sandwich.
Jess: My first idea was the collard green beef burritos recipe from Team Live Lean.

Jess: Those are both no bread sandwiches substitutes.
Brad: There you go.
If you are responsible for cooking him his lunches, you have to be creative with how you do it.
Those were some high protein lunch ideas from our Team Live Lean.
Jess: You can wow the pants off of him with all of those creative recipe ideas.
Brad: Yeah, if he doesn’t want to eat a manly steak salad or chicken salad, get creative with the sandwiches.
By the way, when you’re referring to salads, you need to tell guys it’s a manly salad.
Jess: Yeah, and the wraps too.
The collard green beef burrito wraps are probably the best idea.
However, I don’t know if he would go for that.
I don’t know any truck drivers, so is that something a truck driver would eat?
Brad: Well yes, if he wants to get lean and healthy.
Jess: Yeah, it depends on how motivated he is.
When you’re really motivated to get healthy, you will change your ways and eat anything.
Brad: He can also stick to Ezekiel wraps or Ezekiel bread for his sandwiches too.
There are different levels to health.
You don’t just have to be on a salad only diet.
Just cut back slowly on the unhealthy food.
