always tried to teach you on this
channel of course but when it comes to
you know taking food on the run that's
that's new for a lot of people that's a
that's a weird thing usually people they
just eat out when they are out of their
house you know you're at work you go to
lunch you spend whatever it is you spend
a lot of money eating out and not only
that you're eating other people's food
that most likely you don't know you
don't trust and you know for me I get a
lot of shitty food that way and I waste
a lot of money and that's what this
video is about it's teaching you guys

packing you know a packed lunch for your
kid to go to school this is everything
it could be that but this is if you're
you know if you're in school and you
want to take snacks to get you through
the day so you're not spending money if
you're going to work and you don't want
to spend a ton of money on lunch every
single day these tips are gonna be
perfect for you guys out there you're
gonna save a lot of money and you're
gonna feel great in the process this
video is in collaboration with the
challenge that I'm running on my
Instagram called the packed lunch packed
hashtag packed lunch packed where you
guys are making a pact with me that you
are going through pack your lunch
everyday for a week starting this Monday
just to start to get you used to the
idea of packing your lunch it's very new
for a lot of people can be weird at
first I know for me sometimes I get a
little embarrassed when you know I'm
bringing out food and random places but
you get over that quickly because the
reward is so good
and and I've been doing it all the time
I pretty much never leave the house for
an extended period of time without
packing something because I love saving
money and I love eating my own food that
I cooked I cook for my wife every single
day pretty much that she goes to work
I've got a lot of tips for you guys and
if you do participate in the challenge
I'm gonna pick three winners who are
going to win coaching and consultation
from this guy right here so anything you
want that is food-related that could be
on a food business you're working on
that could be a menu for a birthday
party so make sure you get involved in
this challenge and on your Instagram
just hashtag packed lunch packed and tag
life by Mike G so I can see what you
guys are doing I can interact and we're
all gonna have a grand time together but
let's get into these tips so you can
have an easier time on this challenge
number one is investing in some solid
Tupperware that is the easiest way to
get discouraged is bringing out like a
Tupperware something like this that's
gonna leak on you like this is shitty
Tupperware and yeah it might be cheap
but you'll get discouraged pretty
quickly if you bring this out and it
leaks in your bookbag or something like
that so definitely get some good stuff I
have a bunch of variety here that I'm
gonna show you real quick we've got this
is one of my favorites I'm not sure the
brand it probably comes in different
brands but it just has a very solid leak
proof just sealed on screw tight lid
nothing will leak in this thing and the
bowl shape I found is super convenient
for soups for salads it's just I don't
know like the the dimensions of it are
perfect for really packing and a lot of
stuff this stuff is great it's a little
heavier so that could be discouraging so
maybe you don't want that but if you
don't want to mess around with plastic
if you've got some health concerns about
plastic glass is great this company just
sent me these glass ones that are great
leak-proof seal right here a little
heavier but they are great as well if
you want to go with glass actually we
just gave out a contest for these and
some lucky people won
a whole set of these but that has been
great to have and then you've got you
know you've got mason jars you can reuse
mason jars that you get these are leak
proof usually this one doesn't have that
seal but these are pretty much leak
proof and you can pack in salad
smoothies I use these things are great
I'll take some kombucha on the go and
they've got that nice seal they're mini
mason jar for dressings I buy this
yogurt that comes in here and I just
saved these and I pack all types of
stuff bone broth whatever and then these
are pretty cool these go stacks I use
these for dressings all the time so yeah
make sure you invest in good Tupperware
so you don't get discouraged
number two is packing your food
efficiently that is so important because
you don't want to have these huge
Tupperware's that have just a little bit
of food because you need to be efficient
with your space when you're on the go
Josh and I used to have this game where
we would test ourselves to see how well
we could I up some food and pack it
perfectly in a Tupperware so if you have
like a thing of mac and cheese it's like
okay that's gonna fit perfectly in this
one or perfectly in this one and that's
important when it comes to food you can
see here packing things up to the top
and just efficiently like okay this
fruit is gonna go in there this soup is
gonna go in there that's really gonna
save you a lot of space and just you're
gonna have a more efficient eating
experience number three coming out of
the freezer this is a freezable lunch
box or lunch bag this one is incredible
to call packet freezable link that in
the description but a ton of different
brands make these and they're super
cheap but this is an incredible
investment because a lot of times you
might be on the road you might be in
class and you don't have a refrigerator
a lot of people you know if they work a
job they've got a standard fridge where
they can put their food in so food is
normally fine traveling to work but if
you're spending hours without it you
want to get one of these and put your
food in there and you can see right here
I can pack a lot of stuff in this thing
and I'm telling you it will stay cool or
cool enough all day so you can be out
for like eight hour
and you're good you've got a little mini
refrigerator here and this thing has
saved my life numerous times great poll
number four is packing food that won't
actually break down or will on you so
easily which is very important because
when it comes to lunch when you're on
the go when you're at work whatever it
is a lot of people like eating salads
it's the middle of the day you want
something light it's 10:30 right now I'm
about to eat a salad very soon I love
eating salads for lunch but salad greens
wilt down very easily that is something
that could will on you even on like a
ride over somewhere so it is important
to mix in things to your salads like
cabbage and kale almost make more of a
slaw type thing you can see here I've
got some kale I've got some cabbage I'm
chopping up some radish some carrot so
pick hearty or vegetables that aren't
going to break down and even if they
break down they're gonna be good
like there's nothing worse than a wilted
a naturally wilted spinach leaf not like
wilted in the pan and not just that just
packing things that are wilt tolerant
like like a muffin a muffin is gonna be
fine all day even if you don't have a
fridge a piece of bread something like
that so a lot of times if I don't want
to take the freezer bag out that you
just saw and I know I'm gonna be out
I'll just pack wilt tolerant things that
really aren't going to break down it can
hold up to room temperature number five
this seems pretty obvious and maybe it
is to a lot of you but packing salad
dressings and sauces on the side so
sauces and salad dressings are gonna
start to break down food especially if
you don't have refrigeration right away
so finding little Tupperware is just
like these guys are little mason jar or
these ghost stacks that I showed you
these are clutch I pack the salad
dressing in there and then I'll put the
salad dressing
inside the Tupperware with the salad
greens so you know it's not gonna leak
you're fine you're good to go
and that comes with sauces too maybe you
have
I don't know you've got a stir-fry and
maybe you've got some you know sriracha
or something like that just pack a
little sauce on the side and you're good
to go it won't release make your food so
soggy and it's just a good tip to keep
everything nice and fresh
number six is having a variety you know
it's funny because I was looking up some
some ideas I had most of the ideas for
this cuz I do it all the time but of
course you're gonna check the internet
to see what other people think and
someone was saying that you shouldn't
have variety for kids cuz it overwhelms
them and I haven't packed for kids yet
so I can't answer that question but I
know when it comes for packing for my
wife or packing for myself variety on
the run is is really good it's nice to
have different things you can pick from
so you don't get bored and you're not
just eating one thing maybe that's just
the way I eat but I know a lot of people
they pack a lunch and it's like one
salad and that's it but you know put in
a green put in a piece of bread put in a
snack maybe a little muffin you can see
right here this is like a beautifully
balanced you know meal for the entire
day and you never know what type of mood
you're gonna be in your hunger levels
maybe you want a smoothie at this time
and then maybe you want a little sweet
over here so you're gonna really cut
down cravings for like you know outside
sources of like going to the corner
store and picking up some candy if you
just have a little piece of chocolate
that you pack in your bag the key is to
cut all cost when you're leaving the
house and I can tell you I feel so
accomplished when it works out when you
know I'm out and I'm feeling a little
snack and I whip out a muffin or
something like that just having the
perfect variety for what you're feeling
at the time is going to be the key to
success another one that seemed obvious
but is so important is taking dinner
from the night before and repackaging it
for the next day not only that planning
to do that you can call it meal prep
whatever you want to do you can see
right here I made this nice miso soup
right here with a few vegetables but I
plan to have a little extra because I
knew my wife was going to work so I
scooped
out a bunch of that right away put it in
the Tupperware and then you're good to
go that's like a big portion of her
lunch and if you can get into that cycle
every single day you're you're golden
right there you are going to be saving
so much money eating your own food so
just making a little extra food at night
to give you lunch the next day oh my god
this one is like this this might be the
number one tip I give out to any person
that is just getting in the meal
prepping or cooking and that is just a
cook as much as you can when you can so
whenever you have time usually that's a
Sunday Sunday night but you know maybe
you're off from work or school for a day
just cook as much as you can whatever
you have in your fridge because the most
people complain that they don't have
time to cook that is probably the number
one complaint I get for why people don't
cook so if you just take whatever's in
your fridge whatever's in your pantry if
you have like quinoa just cook it all
just not cook it all but just cook a
bunch of it and then you can start
repurposing that throughout the week so
things like rice like that's gonna last
some time so if you just cook a thing of
rice you can throw that in a salad maybe
you just stir-fry vegetables you're
gonna be well on your way to cooking for
yourself if you just have things already
cooked around so just make sure you
really put an effort when you can to
cook whatever you can if that's a soup
if that's a you know piece of chicken
you can make those things last in
creative ways you can split them up you
know add a little bit of this to that to
that whatever it is and all of a sudden
you have meals out of what you cooked on
Sunday it might be Thursday and it's
still working for you so that is another
key to success number nine this is a
really good trick if you have a little
more of a long-term situation so if you
you know you work somewhere and you have
a pantry or desk that you can keep food
in just stock it with some healthier
snacks this is gonna help you big-time
when you get those cravings so you don't
crumble and you know go out and eat
something bad if you just have some
healthy snacks or
maybe it's rice crackers maybe a little
peanut butter that's what I'll do like
I'll I'll give my wife a little you know
a thing of peanut butter and some rice
crackers and then all of a sudden she's
got a little bit of a snack even if you
just pack a bunch of them a bunch of t2t
is a really good way to cut cravings
when you're at work I've got these
things called Tia chinos that are tea
that tastes like coffee and they're
incredible you can maybe you know bring
a little almond milk to work keep that
in the fridge and then you've got
something a little more substantial you
make some tea or some coffee pouring
some almond milk right there you've got
a tiny little meal slash snack slash
drink whatever it is so just packing
some things so you don't fall into the
cravings because that's so important
when you're on the road number ten one
of my favorite tricks and it seems a
little ridiculous but cutting up your
fruit and vegetables I can't tell you
how much more appealing it is when you
open a Tupperware and it's filled with
delicious fruits and vegetables cut up
ready to go because a lot of times you
know to be honest you might be in a
situation where you don't want to munch
into an apple or peel an orange but it's
so easy to like reach into your bag and
just start picking out some fruit and
fruit it's just a it's a perfect snack
let's be honest when you you know you
need a little bit of that sugar craving
and you just need a little energy just
pulling out some fruit is perfect so
slice up your fruit and you know put it
in a bowl I like a variety just like
this that is actually going to be a
great tip on the run number 10 bonus tip
and maybe the most important is if you
are packing lunch for someone like I'm
doing all the time make sure you slip in
a little something special from time to
time a little note that is that is huge
I'm telling you especially guys out
