Top 10 Foods and Snacks for Truckers

Obesity and health problems are common issues that truckers have to deal with throughout their career; these issues are often times created and compounded by unhealthy eating habits, unhealthy foods, a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of exercise.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 7 out of 10 truckers are obese, which can lead to long term health issues down the road (no pun intended).

That's why we have decided to put together the top 10 Foods and Snacks for truckers, to give drivers a list of recommendations for foods and snacks that are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare that'll give you an easier time staying healthy on the road.

Thank you truckers for your service, Please know how much I appreciate you All🙌🏻I know how difficult it is leaving your family behind💪🏻🙏

Great content.

Additionally, I recommend dry food such as lentils, beans, peas, rice, or oats. They don't perish which means that the driver won't go to the fast food restaurants as much.

Skyr, Ayran, and Kefir are good alternatives to Greek yoghurt. Buttermilk, too.

A good salad dressing: Sea salt, olive oil, lemon/lime juice, and mint/dill.

Greek Farmer's Salad with just tomatoes, cucumber, feta, peppers, artichokes, and olives is very nice.

Eat oats with kefir or plain yoghurt.

Ucranian Eggs on Buckwheat is really good.

Fermented vegetables such as kimchi or sauerkraut.

I’ve looked up foods that help you focus and Dark Chocolate is good to help you be alert … so that’s a plus 👍🏻

I’m down 30lbs from eating healthy and cycling 12+ miles per day. I feel amazing

[LouisReacts]

fiber makes you poop more, and those kind of poops that are emergency rather than feeling it build up which is deadly (not deadly or harmful in anyway) to truckers

[frankswain]

TRUELY GREAT STUFF, Ronan! You did a good deed for lots of folks with this vid!

[LiLTailormade]

Thank you so much I needed this video I’ve been a trucker since 2015 and I gained weight in places I didn’t know I had due to consistent sitting for hours smh.

A good protein option I use often is string cheese sticks.

[sgentertainmentschannel]

Thank you for the great information. Really appreciate for encouraging new drivers with pre-information.

[cootie]

Dope video and thank you. I been eating these foods you mentioned along with working out.

[JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA]

Brown rice also has more protein than white rice!

For nuts cashews are the best choice as they have fibre

This channel is such a blessing to me! Thanks so much!

I prep a pineapple each week and have a little with a banana each morning while on the road.

[dennisthachil]

Could you please do a video about food for long haul ice road truck drivers

[selfesteem]

Thankyou for this..
Looking like you gotta lotta love in your heart.. you even pointed out to avoid salt in jerky.
Great Video.

Here is my fav good quick Hearty one pan breakfast bc it holds me for a long hard day and I'm not hungry again till dinner.
Actually I'll double this into enough for two meals.
Eggs may not be for everyone if they're cold or warmed up but this is also intended to be onvenient
Plentyyyy of

In large skillet, toss in some frozen veggies or any veggies, what you have on hand that needs to be eaten but the idea is quick with no cutting or chopping...
Except for one onion, gotta have onion, but can be sliced in hand with plastic knife.
However here is a Idea for a great quick fresh onion substitute...dehydrated onion from spice isle in grocery/Wal-Mart.
Toss veg in pan for a bit, maybe a pinch of salt, pepper and a bit of crushed red 🌶pepper.
Allow veggies to sauté a bit...
And push to one side.
I like to Not use any oil here... helps to cut fats and veggies cook in their own moisture.
Next...
Push veggies to one half of pan.
Now here...👇
Depending on if you're using a non stick pan here on the one side of the pan, you may want to add some coconut oil/avocado oil/ olive oil but not too much.
And add your eggs, however you like and cook quicker by placing lid on top.
Sometimes I like mine scrambled and sometimes Sunnyside.
Can be made into a omelet or added to a wrap... make a burrito.
But also...
the objective is to eliminate carbohydrates.
And for me, that's it.
If you want meat to go along with this, will take longer bit if you plan ahead, can arrange to have some meat entree leftover from night before. An example could be steak...

Well when you're OTR and run 3500 miles a week like some of us. You don't have time to cook your own shit. Or find places that contain these products most of which truck stops have.

[geneharden]

Great video and outstanding information. What about Beets - mushrooms - Honey and Pears

[cdltrainingspot]

Good list, I would also add good vitamins. Nuts are great!

[trippstudios]

Any type of nuts are horrible. A serving size is a couple of ounces and there are 500 to 600 calories in that serving size. One handful could easily be 1, 000 calories, it's better just to eat vegetables instead, one pound of broccoli is only 125 calories it's hard to over eat with such low calories.

Thank you, I will be packing yummy and healthy for my guy🔥💪🏻
