So I work on a trail crew meaning that I have to pack a filling lunch each day that I can eat on the trail or in the truck. I often take sandwiches but does anyone have any ideas of replacement meals?

wraps/burritos, ingredients for tacos like cooked meat tortillas etc, hummus and pita bread triangles, pizza, I like to make smoothies and put them in a mason jar and bring a straw, and also just buying a whole pizza and bringing half one day and half the next. The possibilities are really endless

I usually don't get a lunch break at my work so I don't know what it's like.

get some strong tupperware and just bring whatever legit filling meals you can make. it's just as easy to eat, say, chicken and veggies out of a tupperware as it is to eat a sandwich, and your options are pretty much endless there

Sandwiches are probably the best portable food out there but it is good to mix it up and make a few different kinds. Yesterday I made a bunch of bacon in the morning and used some for a bacon lettuce and veggie sandwich on toasted bread with mayo and the rest for a bacon and peanut butter sandwich on an English muffin.

I make protein bars and they turn out pretty good.

I combine milk, flour, protein powder with dates and nuts and whatever I feel like experimenting with.

my current batch I've got coconut and acai chocolate and it tastes pretty nice.

I usually also have a few bananas to get my carbs up so i don't get super tired as well.
