food question: i'm basically on campus from 8am to 6pmish most days, later if there are open labs/tutoring. so i have breakfast at home, pack snacks and lunch, and dinner at home. so.. as some of you know i'm having an issue eating meat at the moment and theres only so many hard boiled eggs a girl can eat at lunch time, but i need protein. i do, however, love scrambled eggs. like i could eat them every meal and never get tired of them. so my question is: how long is it safe to keep them, i guess? like if i make a giant batch on a sunday and portion and pack them for school and just heat them up at lunch time, whats a reasonable amount of time? a week? two or three days? or no days after they're made? i'd think because they're cooked it'd be similar to hard boiled eggs? i don't know.
also if anyone else has high protein, easy lunch options, please share! I am allergic to nuts and cannot have gluten or soy. and lactose intolerant. and at the moment kind of a pescetarian/vegetarian. so eggs it is, probably lolol not all dairy bothers me, like yogurt is fine. but that's usually included in my breakfast so i don't want to overdue it. (i'm very high maintenance, i know.)
Could you try whey protein powders?? I'm not sure if they're also soy based, but since there are soy based and whey based, I assume they're different. I'll mix that in with yogurt, fruit and cereal for breakfasts, smoothies, etc.
I'd treat eggs as meat and not eat them after 2 or so days in the fridge. I'd be leery too after 2-3 hours out of the fridge.
