TF food while working in a hospital?

[durafemina]

I have a 10 week hospital placement starting on Mon - 40 hrs a week. I need to bring food to eat (various shifts mean breakfast, lunch & dinner on different days, but I don't need meal specific foods).
Ideally it needs to be easy to eat one handed (pumping milk at the same time), not messy, not smelly (women in labour won't appreciate garlic or fish breath!), and easy to eat cold (I don't do microwaves). There is a fridge available.
I want to be able to bring food at the beginning of the week and eat it over the course of several days bc history shows I am crap at remembering to pack food every day.
Stuff that's really nourishing would be good too as I'm bfing two babes and likely to be *stressed* from the work & crazy schedule. Trying to eat fewer grains (tho not grain free)

So I'm thinking. . . nuts? those get boring fast. . .
tub of raw yoghurt
assorted fruit
loaf of coconut flour bread with slices of cheese, nut butter . . . ?
maybe hardboiled eggs?

The things you mentioned sound real good. The hardboiled eggs are fabulous and will keep for a week if refrigerated. I you drink milk, bring a gallon of raw milk, or some kefir or kombucha. Rotate the types of nuts you bring and make your own "trail mix" with some raisins, etc.

I'm an RN, so I usually bring leftovers in one form or another. Some I heat but many I don't. I always have milk or kombucha. If you like "snack" food, you could bring some wilderness family bars or something for "emergency" food (not the best, but way better than what you get at the store or from a vending machine).

You could always have some mason jars of ferments if you dig those: pickles, carrots, etc.

Honestly, beside have some staples on hand, maybe just force yourself into a new habit of bringing your meals daily. Sticky notes on the steering wheel or door leaving your house, etc.

Good luck!
