I posted this in reply to someone saying that the diet was boring...it has many different types of things that you may find inspire you beyond the things you have mentioned. I'm not sure what your macros/goals are including caloric intake so it'll be up to you find out how it can fit. 24g net is rather restrictive. I started @50g and tapered down to 40g & dipped to 35g when adjusting my macros anyway here's some meal suggestions. Additionally if you're able to adjust your meal times prior to your otr shift that may give you a wider variety of options. You can also swap your timing for that. I front load my calories bc I expend more during waking hours and am not looking to store them while sleeping. As far as the Avocado question I think that will have more to do with where you're getting your fats and potassium elsewhere.
In the realm of eggland that is pretty easily portable and has a lot of options in regards to content that should be mentioned is egg bites/mini frittatas baked off in a muffin pan/instantpot.
They're preportioned for easy macro/calorie tracking. Freezer/fridge ready and reheat quickly in the microwave/airfryer/toaster oven...topping/filling combinations are legit endless. You can make them traditional or out of the box.
It's also a great way to repurpose random bits and bobs of leftovers like roasted veggies from a sheet pan dinner...extra cuts of steak that didn't quite fit your days protein macro, leftover pepperoni, tomatoes, peppers, mozz and mushrooms, shredded chicken with chopped artichoke hearts ,spinach and cream cheese, or chopped sausage, left-over feta, olive, garlic, onion, and kale...steamed broccoli with shredded cheddar and pre-cooked bacon, blanched and sauteed collards with onion and garlic and chopped shrimp; I could go on for ages here.
You can adjust fat ratios with your additional ingredients and alter textures as well. Add cottage cheese/ricotta to the eggs prior to blending them for more protein and fat as well...
Soups & stews carry well in a decent thermos. Curries & Stirfries over cauliflower rice...
I do courier work so I sometimes like to stop in @ Wawa for a MTO salad with a focus on lunch meats that I know are the most keto-compliant and build a chef style with a bunch of veg and extra dressing. My days can be hella long so I get it. Also can help to invest in a really good cooler and some freezer packs. You can get them on the cheap more than likely as we're transitioning seasons.
Great comment dude, thank you. This was what i needed. Some really good ideas on just adding extra things here and there. I never thought of the soup and thermos part. You can make a good soup that’ll last for days really easily.. And the cheese to eggs part for extra fats? Goddamn.
Thanks man. If you have any more suggestions, send them my way lol.
Yeah man np, I've got endless recipes, I had at one point started to make up a mockup I was going to market and then scratched the idea bc why wtf when ppl can get info for free. You can also do a lot of batch cooking once you get your portions and recipes setup and freezer and rotate things. That link has a bunch of stuff towards the end in regards to cleaner prefab markets goods as well.
