Easy snacks and work lunches

First Timer

I need advice on how to eat when I’m not hungry + what to eat at work.

I started a new job, so I don’t have a lot of time to eat or to prepare food. Several times, I’ve accidentally gone too long without eating and it made me so nauseous, that I couldn’t eat at all. It creates this awful cycle, where the idea of food makes me feel sick, but I know that I’m hungry. Cold foods make me feel even sicker. Cooked foods and soups seemed the easiest to force down in times like this.

I’m worried that I’m not getting enough calories per day, but I’ve stopped tracking because I’ve been so busy.

If I eat enough protein at each meal, I feel fine. I’m just struggling with getting protein when I’m in the office and I can’t make my own food.

I’m looking for advice on easy snacks and lunches to bring to work that are high on protein.

I’m on week 5 at 2.5mg, and it started out great because I wasn’t working and I had a lot of time to meal plan and track my food intake. The food I was eating during that time seems repulsive to me when I get in this nausea cycle.
