hatelilpeepees Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Topics and tempers seem to have been kind of hot in here last week, so I throw this topic out just to give us something to talk about that shouldn't turn into a war: Maybe this only applies to the obese people like me, but I keep some snacks in my bus, just in case we get slammed and I can't make it to a restaurant or back to the station at the time I would prefer. I usually try to keep stuff that does not require refrigeration, like those little cracker and cheese or peanut butter packs, trail mix, or slimjims. What do you guys eat ?

DFIB Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I like sunflower seeds although the salt will probably kill me. Trail mix is a close second. Home made cookies at the station. And greasy tacos after a really stressfull run. There is a little taco stand across the way from the station that have the worst tacos in the world but are the only thing open after midnight. I thought I would chime in before someone finds a reason to think slimjims, crackers, peanutbutter or trailmix are somehow racist or anti religion.

Kaisu Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I don't carry snacks. I have drank sterilized water in the back of the rig coming back from a 4 hour transport feeling like I'm going to blow away. I grab what I can when I can, and spend my 4 days in the gym fighting the dreaded ambulance ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorenus Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hm... Cigarettes ( ), Fisherman`s Friends, NicNac`s and with Chocolate filled Croissants do my day (reading this words again, makes me realize how shallow my life expectation is ).

uglyEMT Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Smokes, peeled unsalted pistachios, water. Thats about all I keep in the rig for "those" days. If I know I will be doing a long stand-by (SAR, fire scene, sporting event) I try and bring some protien bars, gatoraid (or equivelent), and sometimes popcorn. At sporting events its alot easier to come by cooked food so usually I pack light. I usually try and keep the snacks salt free and non messy. Hate trying to put gloves on over greasy hands or seeing grease smugs on the BDUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicAsh Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Pumpkin Seeds!!!! I always have them in my coat pocket and in my mail box. I get razzed about it all the time. They are my addiction. Other than that I really don't snack while on shift. If for some reason I do, I have fruit in the fridge or granola bars in my locker.

BAYAMedic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 An MRE in my day pack, and two power/clif bars in my knee pocket. Gatorade or the like powder form that I grab when I get to the hospital. And I force my self to drink a glass of water every time I stop at the ER.
