- Obesity and health problems are common issues that truckers have to deal with throughout their career; these issues are often times created and compounded by unhealthy eating habits, unhealthy foods, a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of exercise.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 7 out of 10 truckers are obese, which can lead to long term health issues down the road (no pun intended).
That's why we have decided to put together the top 10 Foods and Snacks for truckers, to give drivers a list of recommendations for foods and snacks that are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare that'll give you an easier time staying healthy on the road.

Thank you truckers for your service, Please know how much I appreciate you All🙌🏻I know how difficult it is leaving your family behind💪🏻🙏
I have meal replacement in powder form, quick easy to make like a shake!!!
TRUELY GREAT STUFF, Ronan! You did a good deed for lots of folks with this vid!
I’ve looked up foods that help you focus and Dark Chocolate is good to help you be alert … so that’s a plus 👍🏻
Great content.
Additionally, I recommend dry food such as lentils, beans, peas, rice, or oats. They don't perish which means that the driver won't go to the fast food restaurants as much.
Skyr, Ayran, and Kefir are good alternatives to Greek yoghurt. Buttermilk, too.
A good salad dressing: Sea salt, olive oil, lemon/lime juice, and mint/dill.
Greek Farmer's Salad with just tomatoes, cucumber, feta, peppers, artichokes, and olives is very nice.
Eat oats with kefir or plain yoghurt.
Ucranian Eggs on Buckwheat is really good.
Fermented vegetables such as kimchi or sauerkraut.
This channel is such a blessing to me! Thanks so much!
Dope video and thank you. I been eating these foods you mentioned along with working out.
Thank you for the great information. Really appreciate for encouraging new drivers with pre-information.
I’m down 30lbs from eating healthy and cycling 12+ miles per day. I feel amazing
Nice… How long did it take you to drop that weight?
@Phil Jones guess you’re not a trucker because you don’t know what a fucking day cab is.
You ride otr
A good protein option I use often is string cheese sticks.
Except dairy makes people tired.

Processed rubbish usually
Great video!
Thank you so much I needed this video I’ve been a trucker since 2015 and I gained weight in places I didn’t know I had due to consistent sitting for hours smh.
fiber makes you poop more, and those kind of poops that are emergency rather than feeling it build up which is deadly (not deadly or harmful in anyway) to truckers
Thank you, I will be packing yummy and healthy for my guy🔥💪🏻
Good list, I would also add good vitamins. Nuts are great!
Thankyou for this..
Looking like you gotta lotta love in your heart.. you even pointed out to avoid salt in jerky.
Great Video.
Here is my fav good quick Hearty one pan breakfast bc it holds me for a long hard day and I'm not hungry again till dinner.
Actually I'll double this into enough for two meals.
Eggs may not be for everyone if they're cold or warmed up but this is also intended to be onvenient
Plentyyyy of protein.....
In large skillet, toss in some frozen veggies or any veggies, what you have on hand that needs to be eaten but the idea is quick with no cutting or chopping...
Except for one onion, gotta have onion, but can be sliced in hand with plastic knife.
However here is a Idea for a great quick fresh onion substitute...dehydrated onion from spice isle in grocery/Wal-Mart.
Toss veg in pan for a bit, maybe a pinch of salt, pepper and a bit of crushed red 🌶pepper.
Allow veggies to sauté a bit...
And push to one side.
I like to Not use any oil here... helps to cut fats and veggies cook in their own moisture.
Next...
Push veggies to one half of pan.
Now here...👇
Depending on if you're using a non stick pan here on the one side of the pan, you may want to add some coconut oil/avocado oil/ olive oil but not too much.
And add your eggs, however you like and cook quicker by placing lid on top.
Sometimes I like mine scrambled and sometimes Sunnyside.
Can be made into a omelet or added to a wrap... make a burrito.
But also...
the objective is to eliminate carbohydrates.
And for me, that's it.
If you want meat to go along with this, will take longer bit if you plan ahead, can arrange to have some meat entree leftover from night before. An example could be steak...
I prep a pineapple each week and have a little with a banana each morning while on the road.
Awesomeeee 🤟✅
Brown rice also has more protein than white rice!
For nuts cashews are the best choice as they have fibre
sunflower seeds will help when you are feeling drowsy
Could you please do a video about food for long haul ice road truck drivers
Great video and outstanding information. What about Beets - mushrooms - Honey and Pears
Thanks Gene! And absolutely, great ideas!
White potatoes have been studied and tested and shown to have one of THE HIGHEST satiation factor of ANY FOOD. That means white potatoes cause you to feel full. When you’re full you generally stop eating. They’re also loaded with vitamins and minerals and have a good bit of fiber and protein.
The fact that they tell you to avoid them says a lot about their information
Any type of nuts are horrible. A serving size is a couple of ounces and there are 500 to 600 calories in that serving size. One handful could easily be 1,000 calories, it's better just to eat vegetables instead, one pound of broccoli is only 125 calories it's hard to over eat with such low calories.
Well when you're OTR and run 3500 miles a week like some of us. You don't have time to cook your own shit. Or find places that contain these products most of which truck stops have.
I agree. That fridge in the truck can take much food leave alone different varieties that must be packaged separately.
Idk, so far I’m doing pretty good finding these options.
I have meal replacement in powder form, quick and easy to make like a shake!!!
One thing not mentioned is that healthy foods are 2 sometimes 3 times more expensive than the rest of it so be aware of that
We are Truckers so we have the money so don't cheap out on your health
If you can avoid buying buying your food at truck stops. You can get that into a lot of Walmarts and stock your truck before you leave back out off hometime. If you don't have a fridge and microwave invest in one. It will pay for itself in no time!
Sad truth but investing in your health sounds like a good investment.
Malboros in the picture haaaaa 🤣
Eating a bag of chips while watching thjs
Can a truck fridge store two weeks food for one Driver?
I personally choose to remove cabinets or the passenger seat and get a larger fridge, if that’s an option for you I would highly consider it
@@Roboman1174 Brilliant idea. There isn't the need for a passenger seat that will never be used
I have meal replacement in powder form quick and easy to make like a shake!!!
Woahhhh I’m so astonished
What's for the ppl that need to GAIN weight?
I have meal replacement for more body mass, quick and easy to make like a shake!!!
Yum HUMMUS
You forgot celery and ranch
I eat raw steaks
Canned tuna in oil
Gotta be careful with that one, eat it too much and you'll do the opposite
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News Everything in moderation of course.
Huh?
Snacks? What about your food? Any?
I like cigarettes and coffee
Coffee cleans the inside of the intestines. Discovered this when I started drinking coffee in my early twenties. When I went to wipe one time I felt something clinging on my wrist and when I moved my arm forward to take a look I saw what appeared to be a blackish intestine. Later when I told my Marine NCO superior about it he laughed and told me what happened. That career NCO never laughed and when he did his face would crack. I also felt more healthy afterwards because more nutrition was now entering into my system with clean intestines. I quit smoking back in January. I was just last month when I ceased craving for a cigarette. Forget spending ten dollars for a pack of cigarettes or so I made my own using pipe tobacco and filter tubes but the tobacco lacked lube ingredients which cigarettes possess and my lungs were getting whacked and so I quit. I miss cigarettes. I still smoke sativa though.
I have protein coffee and tea with caffeine and zero sugar in it, quick and easy to make like a shake!!!
I THINK PRETZELS ARE OK
