azwerin Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is another weird question, but what tricks did you guys come up with to make time to eat? Especially with the early morning classes, and commuting. Did you just pack like 3 meals everyday? Cook dinner on the weekends for the whole week in advance?

greenmood Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, you get a lunch break you know... I packed a morning and afternoon snack with my lunch. Otherwise, your routine will adjust. You'll eat breakfast and dinner at new times. Don't borrow trouble. (FYI, you need to change your title to PA student. :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starseed22 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I pack leftovers at times and use the fridge we have. I do cook large on Sundays in prep for the week. It can get expensive very quickly eating out daily. It can be done if you work at it. Oh and I also keep a stockpile of fruit in our classroom and apples on my desk. Perfect grab for a snack.

fyrelight74 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Eat breakfast before you go, bring lunch (or buy on campus), home for supper unless late class at the hospital... in that case, ate at the hospital. Snacks? We all kind of share if we do bring anything for snacks... sunflower seeds, chocolate, peanuts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted June 30, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 30, 2012 In 2 of my rotations, drug reps have fed us most of the time. Those would be the small, private practices, vs. hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starseed22 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I never knew how exotic ramen could get till i tried tossing in various types of veggies. It could be the best $0.15 package of ramen you have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the best $0.15 package of ramen you have ever had. Ramen, green onions, spam, sriracha sauce, and crack an egg on top and allow to poach...BOMB-DOT-COM! I would eat it with chopstix and a Chinese soup spoon to add to the ambience! Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much variety with ramen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackjacks Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 You can eat pretty well without cooking too. Greek yogurt with fruit and high-fiber cereal, salads with protein sides (cocktail shrimp, lunch meat, edamame, pre-cooked chicken), smoothies with protein powder, cheese and crackers. I rarely cook when I'm living alone and busy with school. Any of the above can be brought as a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eewee Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Look into crockpot recipes. Crockpots cook wonderful, tender food with pretty much no supervision required. You guys are making me crave ramen. I love the stuff but I always feel so guilty eating it. Maybe if I put veggies in it I'll feel better about myself. :heheh: Go to an asian market and buy the ramen imported from Japan. It's probably a little more expensive but it's so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been the case on my first rotation. I haven't spent a dime on food the days I'm working. They don't skimp, either, LOL. If it's breakfast, it's omelettes and pancakes and fresh orange juice and coffee, not bagels. Problem is finding the time to sit down and eat it.

DogLovingPA Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Every Sunday I made two big dishes to cover lunch and dinner for the week. I would divide the lunch into tupperware and also cut up and prepare any snacks and put them in tupperware. Each morning I just had to grab what I needed for the day and at dinner I just had to heat it up. Also, be sure to make time for breakfast.

winterallsummer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Always wake up a lil early to cook and eat a big breakfast - time and money saver. Whenever you cook, cook extra food and tupperware it to bring for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
