have you tried meal prep?  

I agree with mapasekat, most of the time you have no idea what ingredients are used. No 1 is home prep, cook in bulk if you must so that you always have homemade even sandwiches/wraps etc. That way you have the control and are not blindly feeding your body with toxins.  

Thanks, I'm, doing my best with meal prep, time is just a big issue, i suppose i should just get used to it.  

Hi, I travel a lot for work so I understand your problem. Spar sell small green salads and chicken by the piece. Biltong and nuts are also good proteins, just watch quantities - pre-pack and weigh before hand. Good luck! 

biltong is my on the go meal.  

Boiled eggs are a good option for me and filling.  

Thanks guy and gals, i think nut will work for me due to high fat content and nice fatty biltong never hurt anyone, Tash2017 just got a egg boiler thanks 

Hi Morne. I always get a piece of rotisserie chicken from Woolies. They also have low carb snacks in their till ques. 

I work long shifts so I pack food for 34hrs. Plain yogurt and fresh berries, nuts, biltong, cottage cheese and some raw veg to dip in it, any cheese really. I love mini babybel cheese rounds- high in protein and fat, almost no carbs. Woolies carb clever seed and nut bars are useful when there's nothing else low carb around. Shredded chicken and mayo is fun. Nandos chicken livers for something different. Good luck! 

Droe wors. Chilli bacon strips. Rotisserie chicken. Frittata. Peri peri cashews. Feta and olives. Gherkins. Google Jamie Eason chicken muffins. 

lol i can afford checkers. done. its so hard to eat on muscle building diet with a strict budget 

biltong, drywors, boiled eggs, canned tuna or sardines with the ring tab, canned/prepacked chicken. if you can do dairy- double cream yoghurt or goats cheese is quite good. cold meats -but go for tongue/roast beef or shoulder hams. Things like polony or sandwich ham have gluten and other things in them.  

For stomach issues, I recently digestive enzymes to be a godsend. They help ease the discomfort without you having to sacrifice certain foods. Im on high carb, high protein diet for muscle gain and it's helped a lot. Currently using Native Digestive Complex. This one also has probiotics, not that I know what that means. Lol. 

Thanks man, ill check out those enzymes  

Dis-Chem has a range of probiotics. try those out. they really help with gut issues. https://dischem.co.za/category/863/pro-biotics 

Hey morne, did you come right with the probiotics?
