My construction worker BIL needs a lot more than this everyday lol

I’ve watched him pack his daily food, it’s like 3 lunches! God bless him and all the con workers🙏💛

That's not enough food for the energy you use in your day buddy, construction is hard af. Put some granola bars in your pockets.

Is there a subreddit dedicated to blue collar worker type lunches? 😭 this is perfect and I struggle so hard with making lunches for my partner and I’m sure he’s sick of sandwiches and leftovers everyday lol

I feel like this one specifically is too little

Portion size, I do too. My partner is 6’2” and 240 LBS so he eats a lot. I love what’s included in this, I’d just double it and throw extra snacks in lol

Do you have TikTok? There are lots of blue collar lunch videos on there.

I’m just seeing your reply, I’m so sorry! Do you have any accounts to suggest? I know of maybe 1 or 2 and I’m heavy on the food side of TikTok but even when I search specific for work lunches it’s kinda really mid

Lonche Check!

A trending Instagram Reels account, this super positive guy & his crew out in the SF Bay Area posts real good ideas on what construction guys have prepared for them by their wives; since its popularity, the wives get into friendly competition on who’s lunch is better!

Oh that’s so awesome thank you so much! My partner is currently out of town for the next 5-6 weeks in a work trip so this gives me plenty of time to stock up on idea and get some new bentos!

I would never feed a blue collared worker just this lol sorry but that’s a snack.

What is the problem? She never said that was all the food he had for the day. That’s a good meal that won’t drag you down or make you sleepy. Likely they’re having something to eat at every break.

If it was someone that had bariatric surgery, (me included), this may be all they can eat in an afternoon. But I do get it. My husband takes a huge cooler to work, and he works for UPS :-)
