At some point while on a late night
drunken bender, I had the brilliant idea of ordering a bunch of
3-compartment food trays with lids. I thought that it would be a
great idea to make up a few meals beforehand to make things easier on
myself...
----------------------
Right off the bat, it became apparent
that getting a 'workable combo' of foods together was going to be
more of a challenge than I'd thought. At least, at times. For
instance, there was the hot-cold food concept. If you tried to do a
combo meal like that, it became a little problematic when it came
time to eat! Here's an example:
As you can see in the picture above,
I've got a spaghetti-chili main course matched to a small salad and
mixed fruit pair of sides. How was the pasta going to get heated up
while next to two cold foods? Aluminum came to the rescue! I merely
lined the two cold food area in foil. The foil packets then could
quickly be removed prior to nuking the pasta. This actually worked
out quite well.
I ball-parked this 'tiny meal' at about 300 calories in a balanced mix of carbs, protein and fiber.
