I love Mark Telford's Truck Driver's Healthy Breakfast. It makes a good start to a long day of driving down that old highway and keeping your focus.
Truck Driver's Healthy Breakfast
To keep those big wheels turning
You need a decent breakfast
Not too many carbohydrates
They make you sleepy
As they keep you calm
Better that you eat nutritional greens
Like cabbages, kale, spinach and broccoli
And peppers, onions, garlic and celery
For carbs, you can add
A whole array of root vegetables
Beets, sweet potatoes and carrots
Beans, peas and squash
Go easy on these starchy things
They will make your belly grow
Breads, pastries and refined foods
Need to stay out of your diet
As they build a layer of fat
Right where you sat
And under your hat
And around your neck
An your middle too
Greens are nice things
And they stay with you
When other foods are through
But they don’t spike your blood sugar
If you must eat the dairy products
Remember
You ain’t no baby cow
And you are done growing now
Your truck is working hard and burning calories
And moving that load down the road
You are sitting behind the wheel
You must have nerves of steel
And a mind of your own
