need a food I can eat at work - server

[Sci-five]

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first post, first whole30 and all that jazz. 

 

I'm hoping you lovely people might have some suggestions.

 

So here's the deal. I work as a server which means either 6 hour or 11 hour shifts, on my feet, moving, lifting, running, and where I work, breaks aren't really a thing. I usually eat 4 meals a day instead of the three, because I need to eat more frequently to keep my body upright and moving. I'm one of those "always hungry" people, whole30 is partially about combating my incessant need to snack, but I feel physically ill if I go more than about 4 hours without eating. I'm apparently hypoglycemic according to my doctor. 

 

Anyway, I'm looking for ideas for food that I can keep next to the POS system at work and take a couple of bites at a time while I'm ringing in orders, or something that I can eat in a minute or less that packs a huge punch as far as energy/fullness goes. Imagine you were going to go work out for 5 hours. Normally I go for protein bars etc. last week I kept a bag of almonds with me, but I could really use some variety

Maybe something like meatballs, egg muffins, scotch eggs, salmon cakes? Pair them with easy to eat vegetables, like raw carrots, celery sticks, snap peas, cucumber, bell peppers, with some mayo for dipping as your fat source, or some olives if you don't want to leave mayo out.

Shannon has given you some great ideas there. I'd also add compliant jerky if you can find it, and jars of pickled veg - neither really need refrigeration so they might work well for you.
