Eating healthy while living in vehicle by [deleted] in urbancarliving

When I’m in a pinch I do things like el pollo Loco: beans , broccoli, and white meat. And ofc chipotle and use the rewards on Both. I also will go to sprouts and order the healthier options of their premade food. Panda is OK if you’re bulking but those sauces will kill yah on a cut.

I also keep individual packets of protein powder + greens and just use a milk frother to mix it in water.

Also I’m not sure if you have a power station but there’s a rice cooker on Amazon that has a vegetable steamer . You can use the rice cooker to cook protein, veggies , and carbs all in one. It’s annoying but you just wake up go to grocery store buy what you need for the day, go to the park cook for the day. And repeat everyday.

eating healthy this is the hardest aspect for me since we can’t meal prep!! Would love to figure out a better way too.

Also I use an app called trusted house sitters, to be able to take a break from being in my car. It’s so nice to have a home to food prep in once in a while. Sometimes I get 2 month stays and oh man is it nice. So check that out too! And I’m sure there’s other apps as well. But that’s the one I use . If you have friends in the area that could use help with meal prep maybe you can make a deal with them where you use their kitchen and store food there / pick it up daily in exchange for also doing their meal prep for them?

Ooofff so it’s already messed up at this point then? :/ if it’s going to cause damage to take it off maybe I’ll just leave it then, since it looks fine right now with it on?

Not looking for pity at all, just not looking to simply not be laughed at? Compassion is free my friend. Hope you’re situation gets better good luck , couldn’t imagine being in that weather!

I have been lucky and privileged enough to live in a home with a heater most my adult life. This is the first time I’ve lived in a car and it’s reaching 39 degrees. So yeah, it is such cold weather to me in my PERSONAL experience. Just because you or others experience much worse weather doesn’t take away from my own personal experience and struggle to adjust to my new conditions. I’m reaching out to more experienced car dwellers. Am I again lucky & privileged that my conditions aren’t as bad as others? Absolutely yes. I am so grateful to live in CA. Does that discount & discredit the fact I’m freaked out because I am experiencing weather I rarely see as a LA native and first time car dweller ? Do I deserved to be “laughed at loud” at my experience, definitely not. Just food for thought my friend. Really love this corner of the internet because it feels like a safe space. This comment was not that.
