No Time To Eat Healthy......HELP!!!!

knuhkles Posts: 62 Joined: 2004/01/25	2004/03/15, 08:43 AM Ladies and Gentlemen, Im in the military (Okinawa, Japan) and i have a little problem which is ......time to eat healthy. I work a "VERY" busy schedule (14-16 hour days..Yes, i did say 14-16 hour days) 4 days working only 2 days off. I go to the gym when I wake up and have very little time to make anything before I head to work. My job doesnt have a lunch break, so whatever you bring to work is what you have for the whole shift. Now, the problem is not the work, its in fact that I have no time to make anything healthy in my room before work. I have no time to take out the little grill or bake oven and cook somthing for example like chicken breast. Their are also no healthy restraunts on base, we are very limited. Now the Question is what little recepiets can I put together to have a balanced but healthy meal(i.e. Fruits, turkey sandwitches, Also note, I dont eat Sea Food and am trying to put on mass)?? Suggestions??

If you are going to put on mass, you are going to have to be more creative about your eating options and make time tp prepare meals, unless you know someone who can do some cooking for you. There have to be some food choices you can make on base - take the skin off the fried chicken breasts, eat the veggies, request no sauce, ask for thing s[plain, potatoes, baked... Learn to eat around those obstacles.
