Lunch on the Run



Blue lunch box with compartments.

When there's not really time to pack lunch and you're up early for work and you don't want to try to find keto friendly food out there in the restaurant world…

In August I have worked as a traffic flagger, a reset merchandiser, and a census lister.  Some of that concurrently.  Taking your own food is important if you want to stay on Keto.  With flagging, it was complicated by having no place to put my lunch out of the sun - and one day ants got into it.  On the reset, there was a break room - and lunch was at 2 a.m.   As a census lister, I'm out and about.  I can take my lunch break when I want to, but the temptations of ice cream shops are lurking out there.

So what's in the lunch box?


  • Sausage patties
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Cheese
  • Zucchini cut into strips and packets of guacamole
  • An avocado when I have one ripe

What would be if I had more time to prepare?

  • Mushroom caps stuffed with cream cheese and a green olive
  • Mini-quiches
  • Mug breads


I find veggies and salads take too long to eat, so I get those after work.

And, I have a new spinning wheel so non-work time is going to that, not to food prep.
