Lunch ideas?

You should check out the 300 sandwiches blog for many inspiration ideas.

The story behind the blog is very RPW as well.

Things are fairly serious between E and I. We’ve been dating for more than a year, and recently, we moved in together to a lovely Brooklyn apartment. We talk about the future—-getting a dog, buying a country house, we’ve even talked about having a family without him breaking into a cold sweat and changing the subject. But I didn’t know when E would be ready for marriage. And like every woman in her mid-30s in a relationship, I wondered if we were going to go the distance.

I realized what it would take to get him to commit after the first time I made him a turkey on whole wheat bread, with mustard, lettuce and swiss cheese.

“Honey, this is the best sandwich ever!” he exclaimed in between bites so rapid in succession, the sandwich was gone in minutes. And then, he dropped a bomb me: “You’re, like, 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring.”

That was it—a proposal hinged on me making him sandwiches.

...

E didn’t say “cook me 300 sandwiches or I’m leaving you!” He gave me a challenge—a dare, to some degree—and the type-A, Tracy Flick side of me can’t stand being challenged. I will prove to him and the rest of the world I can make the 300 sandwiches.

I keep all my recipes here: https://yourwifeisevolving.wordpress.com/category/recipe-corner/

There is generally a way to get them tuppered up and ready for Jon at work, too. They're not hard to make portable.

PS: He's a bit of a fussy eater, although less so than when we first met, and he needs a lot of food to keep his gains from the gym, so most of those should be adaptable to your guy. Plus, try out "meat in bread". It's like a pie in bread, or a bread full of stew, it's lovely. Just make dough, fold the meat and veggies in, roll it and bake it.

I'm similar in my eating habits, and the only thing I saw missing from your list that would appeal to me personally is cookies.

If he's a hard gainer, chickpeas are really calorie and protein dense. I like to open 2 cans, drain them, mash them roughly with a potato masher, and then add chopped celery, pickles, and red onions, and season with some mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper. I usually also add cumin and paprika, because I really like those flavors. It becomes a sort of "tuna salad" that is really fantastic in sandwiches/wraps that doesn't have that "I feel weird about smelling like fish at work" aspect to it. My guy really likes it. It'll last in a cooler!

Edit: It's also really tasty to just eat with a fork straight from a tupperware container. And if you want to reduce costs, you can make the chickpeas from dry! Just soak them overnight in cold water and then boil them for ~40mins or until soft.

Good idea to make sure that there is some source of salt in there every day. I've worked jobs where I drank a gallon of water every day and I sometimes slipped into hyponatremia--really unpleasant. Nuts and chips are really good for salt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia

I always saved leftovers from the night before. He'd much rather have last nights porkchops, mashed pots, and veg, instead of a sandwich. You microwave it then put it in a hot bag and it stays nice and warm. When I did make a sandwich (if there wasn't leftovers from night before) it was probably a philly cheese. Super easy. Pan cook deli roast beef, onions, peppers, and cheese; serve it in a hoagie roll.

Get a small cold container for fruit and coookies! yum yum yum...

High fat and high protein meals, not so much carbs

Sliced beef with cheese and mayo are good for sandwiches, then you put a couple of pieces of fruit (banana for the glucose and apple to make him feel full). Sardines and egg are also good

Then you can put some nuts and water, no sugar drinks. Avoid sugar at all cost (carbohydrates)

And dont use chick peas, it raises the estrogen (female hormone), which decreases testosterone and can make him grow men tits if he goes a lot to the gym
