Taking Lunch To Work Part 1

My husband is in the military and right there on post within minutes from him are vending machines, little shopettes and fast food restaurants.  He's out the door by 5am and has PT almost everyday.  Some days there are 12 mile road marches and 8 mile runs.  I probably don't even know the half of it.  So, I've got to be creative in order to keep him well fed and send enough good, healthy food with him that he isn't tempted to spend money on junk.

Every day my husband takes 2 Bananas, Yogurt, a Protein bar (not shown here), 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, Veggies and Homemade Ranch Dip (minus the green onion because after sitting all night it's more like onion dip), some sort of goody (homemade cookies, vegetable chips, grapes, cantaloupe, etc) and then either a Tuna, Chicken or Deli Meat Sandwich or leftovers if we happen to have any.  It may not look like a lot of food but it really is!  It keeps him fed well and keeps our budget in line, especially when you consider a meal from a fast food restaurant will cost you $5-$10.
