Im having a dilemma im 4.5 months out and i was out of work because of injury. I returned last week and i work overnight if i dont pack food my options are 7-11 wawa and dunking donuts. What is the best thing to eat from either of these places?

I worked overnights and used to use Wawa all the time. The have the most variety. You should try to pack your meals in advance and avoid eating out all together but that doesn't happen always. Trust I know lol. Worst case go with Wawa in a bind.

Jim, keep those packs of tunafish and chicken in your backpack or lunchbag for emergencies. I keep them in my desk drawer. Not really what I want to eat but they are good for an emergency and keep me off the carbs.

If u have no refrig at work, they make some really cute bags now that keep ur food cold. Especially in the beginning, I would pack my own food. Even a Lean Cuisine heated up in the microwave is better than most of the options at any of the food places u listed. U can pack a hard boiled eggs, a salad with some tuna or chicken, fruit, yogurt, cheese or stuff that can be heated (like Soups or chili) and it's much easier on ur wallet too.

Now this is what I'm suggesting. At 4.5 mths out I was eating everything and winging it also when I traveled. Do as I say, not as I do - or so the saying goes!

Good luck! I used to work the 7p-7a shift when I was in nursing school in the early 90's. I lived on McD's and popcorn, as anything "healthy" didn't seem normal at 3 am. Now, of course, it would be a different story.

I appreciate all of the help but im looking for something to eat. I normally pack a meal for lunch but on this occasion i didnt have time so this is the first time ive been at work and not been prepared. I also dont have the opportunity or time to check out each place to see what i can have. If anyone knows anhthing specific that i can eat let me know please. And thank u all. I too have lived off of crap food overnights. We have a few pizza places that stay open late also chinese food popcorn chips huge wawa sandwiches or i packed a lunch which was always loaded with food and because i would eat from boredom i would get even more food later in the night. I cant wait to be dont with this overnight stuff

@@jimhead4866 - I would say wawa - you can get chicken salad, or salad bowl with chicken in it, they have yogurt, apple slices with Peanut Butter cups in it.. fruit & veggies... there are more choices at wawa then 7-11 etc... Even some of the hot foods you can get without a roll, like meatballs, hot roast beef, hot turkey... I am only 4 1/2 months out, and still not able to eat a lot, but when i forgot my lunch at home, i stopped at wawa and was able to get my days worth there... good luck!!

Stick with wawa, they have meat and cheese cups, hummus, meatballs, etc.

I agree with wawa. They have a lot of choices. Hummus and carrots. Mmmmm

Went with small wawa meatballs side in a cup ( 2 meatballs) and 1stick of string cheese
