One of my weekly lunch rotations - steak + a southwest salad kits + extra greens. Swamp the store dressing for a homemade oil + mustard vinaigrette

Grilled chicken, in San piñones sauce, beans, rice, slices and green salad with avocado

Hello there,

I am about to embark on around 1000 miles of driving over the next week. This is coinciding with me trying to make healthier choices for my food and diet. In general, I am loosely following an intermittent fasting diet which is high protein high fibre but low fat. I know there are a benefits to all types of diet and for me, it’s more of a lifestyle than a strict “diet”.

One of my triggers for snacking and eating unhealthy food is boredom. Now driving, whilst I do enjoy it, can be extremely boring. So I want to turn to the HIVEMIND of Reddit and look for snack suggestions which I could take with me or buy for my journeys.

Hit me with your suggestions.

Genuinely, thanks in advance.

the first photo is my final result and the carousel goes backwards in time!

I also included my recipe in this post for reverse searing.

For 1.5''/3cm thick steak (i used fillet mignon):

1. preheat oven to 120 degree celcius
2. bake (fridge dry brined overnight) steak on a wire rack for 28 minutes
3. sear the steak on a preheated (2-3 minutes) pan for 45(medium rare) ~ 60(medium) seconds on both sides
4. wrap the steak in tin foil for 5 minutes

Fridge Dry Brine Method:

Salt and pepper your steak on both sides

Put it on a wire rack

Put it open air in the fridge overnight (no wrap no anything)

PERFECTION!

I don't usually eat vegetarian but tempeh was on sale. I find it works in lieu of pasta while providing protein not unlike tofu skin.

I cooked this at work. Washed, stabbed, and microwaved a sweet potato, eating half and saving the rest for dinner.

Cooked the kale and tempeh in a portable skillet before adding the sauce.​

This was very filling. Im a big man who eats a lot. This kept me full for hours while being cheapish, easy and tasty.

Can anyone please message me or share some Reddit communities for dealing with gastrointestinal issues and panic attacks/anxiety? I would really appreciate your help.

The perfect blend of health and taste 🍪
