What can my partner eat at work?????

Question

Hi

My partner works on a building site and works 12-14 hour days. He really wants to loose weight and eat healthy but finds himself eating takeaways continuously. I live in spain but he works there and comes back for 5 days a month at the moment and the rest of the time whilst in england he lives in a hotel. He gets up and goes to work and by the time he gets back he either sleeps or has a takeaway. Anyway he wants to eat at work about 6 but they only have a microwave and a blender at work plus he is on a budget as we are really trying to save this year (isn't everyone!!). I have suggested wraps and soups and obviously sandwiches but i know wraps are healthier. Does anyone have any ideas of good recipes/meals he can do on the go at work using a blender and microwave or just normal cold meals that will help him to eat better?? Please help!

Answer 1

Not so much what to eat but when to eat it. Get him to start the day with a good breakfast - all the protein stuff from a traditional english. He'll feel far less hungry at lunchtime & should be able to get away with sandwiches or a cornish pastie. After work a salad & fruit, plus some more bread to fill up the corners.

It's the old saying - breakfast like a king, supper like a pauper. It really works!

Answer 2

besides you, fruit will help him lose wt and provide energy during the day
