So I pre-weigh/portion out the bulk of my meals on Sunday - I basically eat the same meals repeatedly that I have saved in MyFitnessPal. It makes keeping my
Macros super easy.

Breakfast is:
1 cup cottage cheese
2 scrambled eggs w/2 liquid egg
Whites and to links of turkey sausage
1 apple
1 pear
1 cup Greek yogurt w/one scoop protein powder

This is spaced into two small meals, 7am, and 9am.

Lunch is usually 8-12oz lean protein with a cup of rice and a low carb wrap
(I realize that being on a job site you may not have microwave access, and the rice is not good cold, so chicken and tuna sandwiches on whole wheat might be a better option)

Around 2pm I eat a banana and a protein shake - and usually head to the gym around 4:30pm.

I alter my calories by increasing portions and opted for full fat variations of milk, cottage cheese, etc.

Not sure if this was what you were looking for or not. Just my .02 cents - the food struggle is real!

It's really useful, thanks. Hope it will be suitable for me :)
 
For many years i would fire up my grill/oven throw some meat on. heat a pan an cook my veggies and get some rice going if that was mu carb source. Then throw a sauce on my veggies like a curry or what ever i wanted, Let cool and divide into my containers for the week. al told less then an hour usually to have all my work food ready. usually cooked sunday dinner while i was doing all that.
