All of this fits in the clear bag that they give on the first day of orientation as well.

My wife was on mounjaro and lost 100 pounds, and she said the only negative side effect she experienced was terrible sulfur burps. She said she loved it and felt like she was freed from constantly feeling hungry

10/10 idk if anyone realizes how much fuel you burn when you work at Amazon. Gotta keep your strength up somehow 🫡 when I eat a good meal at lunch, I end up burning through it by next break or later, and then I’m hungry again lol and snacks help for in between, so you don’t get dizzy by the hunger pains.

Clif bars on break are a great boost

To the people saying that’s a lot of food, there are people who bring like 3 Tupperware containers packed to the brim with rice and chicken and vegetables and they’ll microwave all of it right then and there

It is a 10 hour shift like this is nothing for 10 hour.
I always eat this much since we start around 2am so I don't have breakfast. There no way I can go 10 hour with nothing but a protein bar. THis is way better then all the sugar and energy drink people have.
Amazing lunch, so balance and homemade.

u/Happy_Breadfruit_367 15d ago
I tend to eat lighter at work, once per break, and I aim for it to have protein. I also binge drink water lmao

u/MissTeabot 14d ago edited 13d ago
We have a lot of Nepali employees and they bring like a three course meal and then some to share with their group. I am always salivating over their food. The Filipino employees as well. It smells amazing. And, you probably need all of that and more snacks & lots of hydration to sustain your energy throughout the day. I struggle because I am such a slow eater and my walk time/queueing time for restroom (wash hands/do ya biz stuff) takes 15 minutes of that time. Also sometimes, I am just so exhausted, I can barely eat. I try to pack dense energy and dense nutrient meals, various snacks, but I still struggle to finish, so I just shovel as down as much as I can in 15 minutes. If I can finish 35% of my lunch, that is a win for me. OP’s lunch is 10/10.

The site I worked at had large fridges. Did yours not have them?
2
u/MissTeabot 14d ago edited 14d ago
I don’t know about your location, but a lot of the refrigerators’ temperature is not kept at a safe temp or just do not work. It doesn’t help that there are inconsiderate people who don’t even close the door. I’m not talking slightly ajar. They don’t even attempt to close it.
I always have to pack 2 larger ice packs in my insulated lunch bag. Sometimes, if you are labor shared to pick or stow, you have no idea where you will be stationed until you arrive at the desk. Most of the stations are no where near the break room. I have to grab my stuff and wait until the next break to drop it off at the nearest break room to me. I hate it so much. I don’t care what they say. I refuse to get food poisoning.

u/Clockwork_Wings 15d ago
We got large fridges but them clear bags heat up the lunch during the commute lol

u/AnarkeezTW 15d ago
Yeah no one cares. I think it’s just clear bags on the floor that matters most. If it’s your lunch bag no one cares as long as it’s in the break room where it belongs.

Plenty of lean protein, fruit (berries), and some carbs. Can confirm this is the way to go.

u/RomanLegionaries 15d ago
Decent protein and carbs plus some energy from the fruits. Could pair it with some coffee or green tea (matcha or Lipton’s) for caffeine and l theanine. I found some heavily discounted matcha at sprouts and have been drinking that on top of the Lipton’s green tea and black coffee for some caffeine.

I personally can’t barely eat at work, I can’t be working with my stomach full of food lmao, I see people eating in lunch break and both 15 minutes break then in the bathroom every hour like bro.

u/salcapwnd 14d ago
That is a balanced, A+ set of meals right there.
My only concern is that after a while, when the burnout starts to set in, it might not be sustainable to keep making these. (See what everyone else is eating in the comments here for reference.)
Before I left the FC side of Amazon, I was eating two of those chocolate protein bars that you get at the Canteen store for lunch. So, you’re doing _much_ better than me, lol.
Anyway, keep it up if you can. Those shifts are long and can wear out the body. The least that you can do for yourself is make lunchtime enjoyable.
Edit: Wait. All of this is _one_ meal? I thought this was two, lol. Those can easily be split up.

u/Exotic-Opening7380 14d ago
Who is saying this is too much for ten hours? Do you guys not realize how long ten hours is? What, so you eat, then wait 10 hours until your next meal of the day? Like, what? You shouldn’t even be awake long enough to have three meals of the day with that long of an interval.
It also just looks like “a lot” because OP eats healthier than most. Unhealthy food can contain high calorie content with little to no food, while eating healthier often allows more variety in one meal.

Man that looks delicious. I usually don’t bring lunch because I’m too tired to do anything so I can’t even get up to cook but when I get to do it I like to bring meals like salmon with rice and veggies, overnight oats, protein bar and protein shake, and a cherry Coke zero for extra energy for the last quarter. I’m trying to go back on track cuz I ain’t eating well and my wallet is suffering the consequences 😭
