I'm just wondering if there are any sleevers out there who are nurses? Trying to wrap my head around being at work on a busy unit while trying to get my protein/nutrition in and take care of 5-8 patients for 12.5 hours per day. What are your tips for success?

Yeah, work in general can be strenuous exercise, especially when you work in the ER like I do. CPR, pushing stretchers, getting patients in and out of bed... I took the full 4 weeks off of work until my activity restriction was lifted because of this.

As far as a high Protein snack that you can keep in your pocket, I have found these Think Thin bars that aren't bad sugar and carb-wise, and have 20 grams of protein per serving. They are really dense, though. It takes me about 45 minutes to eat one of them, and I am a year out from surgery. Not sure how I would have done with them right after surgery. Almonds are another good one, although not quite as high in protein.
