LBA's = hard laborer's dream?

[Potimus]

Curious to see if there are any construction workers that use LBA's for protein throughout the day, rather then cooking a bunch of meals. Gonna be working road construction again between semesters for my pops, and wanted some feedback.

***I have not used LBAs as of yet

I plan on using them when I start back at my job being a server. We have usually 6-10 hour shifts. Walking 24/7, nowhere to sit, and you literally can't stop walking without being jawwed at by the manager. Not as hard as construction, I'm sure, but definitely not conductive to bodybuilding. What I used to do is keep protein bars in my little server pouch and every three hours or so run to the bathroom and woof one down. Generally more sugar and fat than I needed but it was better than going 10+ hours without eating.
So, I'm going to use LBAs, have like 6-10TBSP LBA, a couple TBSP of Olive oil and maybe some dehydrated fruit in a little plastic container and go to the bathroom and just shoot it all down for a good rounded meal in about 10 seconds.

In the bathroom

My thoughts exactly! If you live in the good USA, they have labor laws, that allow you to have a break of 10 min after 4 hrs., If you work 6 you get a 30 min lunch along with that break. 8 hrs two 10 min breaks and a 30 min lunch. Oh, how do I know that? I use to manage a restaurant and owned a couple of businesses. You can not get fired for your rights under the labor board.

Yeah but they can give me the shitty tables and be really angry with me... lol
I wasn't going to go back to food service, but walking out with 70-100$ a shift is just too appealing.

Its not too bad, the bathroom is a lot more quiet and a quick break from the constant noise outside.

You should have me as you advisor, when it comes to idiot bosses( I had my share) If he starts harassing you, for your rights under the labor laws, He can be legally sued. Some times you have to fight for yourself and not let an asshole like that take charge of you. I do not mean physical, but legally. I drag many of idiots into court to give them a dose of reality. I have not loss to date. But, I don't get mad, just even by documenting everything. Maybe this job isn't for you, there is ones that pay just as much if not better if you apply yourself like your training(it help me run 3 busineses) Just a thought

Thanks a lot for the advice. I may talk to him, but this is only a summer job so I may just endure it.
What better jobs are out there for a 19 year old as a summer job? I would really like to get into personal training. I know that would be some decent money, but again, most people would laugh at the idea of paying a 19 year old for training advice .

i am not a construction worker but work a lot on construction sites, i use lba during the day a lot but dont substitute for all meals. for example i may have a full breakfast then LBA at work, have a real lunch then LBA again in the afternoon, then after work a proper dinner. When i take the LBA in the day though i make sure i have fruit or a suitable carb to take with it that is quick and easy
