I'm a Paramedic that works 96+ hours a week. We are always short handed so I work alot more hours than normal. I pretty much live in the ambulance. I've got an idea and thought I'd run it by here. For backstory a few years ago I hit a high of 475lbs (215.5kg) and was barley able to keep doing my job. After just simply eating less and giving up sugary drinks and chips I'm down to ~350lbs (159kg). Still way to fat for what I do. Portion control and snacking seem to be my problem. It's hard to pack food that doesn't need refrigerated for days and I'm sorry but after picking up a body parts after a bad car wreck or having a drunk guy piss on you a carrot stick isn't gonna cut it, and I gave up smoking and drinking. I switched to Monster Rehab for those late night runs when I need caffeine. SOoo... Here's an idea, thought I'd run it by here. I have easy access to U.S. MRE's. I'd be fine with any other brand of pre-packaged meal. I make up half serving size packets of Isopure mix and have that 6 times a day with water and ONE MRE a day (~1,300 calories) and have my black coffee and Monster Rehabs. There's a Planet Fitness near my station I'll be going to before I come in and as I get off, no matter how tired I am.
What else can I do? Ideas?

i would really consider intermittent fasting.
i enjoyed bringing out the dead btw

MREs are not 1300 calories. Most are around 2500-3000. Read the label if you have such easy access to them. And enjoy never being able to poop again.

U.S. MRE's are on average 1,300 calories for the whole thing. IDK where you get that number. I've had them on disaster relief, they never bothered me.

I don't know why you'd possibly think this. From fucking experience, just buy tuna you ham planet.

Your experience is worthless troll. Multiple sources state the same. Heres just two sites. (not sure how to post links, hopefully this works. hxxp://www.mreinfo.com/mres hxxp://www.goarmy.com/soldier-life/fitness-and-nutrition/components-of-nutrition/meals-ready-to-eat.html
Anyway, after looking on here only a few helpful people, gonna lurk more from now on. My fault for asking advice on 4chan, lol.

That's gotta stop dude. I know we need OT to make a living in this line of work, but you're abusing yourself, this is not sustainable.
Cut back hours a bit, get a crockpot, do some meal prep ahead of time.
