My Double Smoked Bacon Bowl cause they don’t give us a decent GF/gluten friendly options (i.redd.it)

Bacon egg bites though?

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 28 points 1y ago

When they are literally one of 4-5 options and you work almost full time it gets old 💯 and they aren’t filling for me when I’m working 8 hour shifts.

I try to pack my lunch but when I forget I’m so hungry!

NotyourangeLbabe 8 points 1y ago

As someone who also cannot eat gluten, eggs bites do get old pretty quickly. And a DSB bowl just hits different

Ordinary-Theory-8289 17 points 1y ago

I was thinking the same thing …

Electrical_Metal_106 10 points 1y ago

I can’t get past the texture. It makes me gag.

xoMisaa 3 points 1y ago

double toast them so they’re nice and crispy 🤩

Comfortable-Plane944 21 points 1y ago

I eat so many egg bites to get me through my shifts

nicolelynnejones 8 points 1y ago

I love them but boy they are not filling!!!!

QuietCity333 15 points 1y ago

literally nothing is filling anymore 😩 that’s the most annoying part of the 7 food markouts a week for me. they keep making the food items smaller and smaller but we only get the same amount of markouts. how am i supposed to do a whole 9 hour shift surviving off of 1 bacon gouda

nicolelynnejones 25 points 1y ago

i’m so glad i’m not the only one who feels this way. the weird thing is that a lot of the food is still SO CALORIE DENSE! how is a chicken bacon panini like 600 calories with 4 chicken chunks on it?!? so aggravating trying to lose weight or not gain (i know not everyone is worried about that)

I’ve been eating bacon egg bites with a bagel. I used to put them on the bagel and make a lil sandwhich but I only work 4 hour shifts so I only get a 10 and who has time for that. So I just eat them separately. But it’s definitely more filling than just the bacon bites!

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 3 points 1y ago

I get so tired of eating the same thing and yes I agree the bites are not filling any more!

fenriz-fingers 13 points 1y ago

oh my gosh i’ve been eating our food with the breads still on and just sucking it up by distracting myself on bar. maybe i should stop destroying my insides for literally nothing this looks good 👍

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 6 points 1y ago

I was doing the same and my reflux and bloating got so bad I had to stop. Usually I pack a lunch if I dont want a protein box but yeah today was too hungry

CalDoesMaths 11 points 1y ago

I can’t have dairy or gluten. My shifts aren’t fun when I forget my lunch box

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 5 points 1y ago

I’m so sorry 😭 We need more choices !!!

CalDoesMaths 2 points 1y ago

For real! I literally can only have the trays from RT&E and I have to throw half of it out every time OR PAY MY OWN MONEY just to get a bag of chips or a kind bar because we can’t even mark those out

Responsible_Snow7109 3 points 1y ago

Same. I have celiac and cant have gluten. I mainly eat the marshmallow dream bars cuz i dont like eggs too much but our eggs are not that flavorful to me. Theyre bland and watery

CalDoesMaths 2 points 1y ago

Mfw marshmallow dream bars contain dairy 😭

Responsible_Snow7109 1 points 1y ago

Aww yea that sucks. U did say u cant have dairy 😟 i would not kno wat to do with myself if i couldt have dairy lol cheese is my life. But how do u deal with the no dairy and no gluten? Its still so hard for me to transition to a gluten free diet

ironic_nic 9 points 1y ago

I’m celiac and work full time, I swear the little amount of GF options at Starbucks is disappointing. I’m tired of eating egg bites every day.

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 6 points 1y ago

I’ve started putting it in my survey every week. We’re you able to eat the quinoa bowls or did those have wheat in them. I started right before they went away

Responsible_Snow7109 3 points 1y ago

I have celiac too! I hate the egg bites lol theyre so watery and bland. I sometimes eat the salami and cheese tray but thats not filling. I also eat the marshmallow dream bars and thats definitely not filling

circulatorysystemm 2 points 1y ago

same!! i try to eat something before my shifts and then have egg bites but if i ever have money in my account i’ll get some hippeas in the last parts of my shift it’s never enough tho :( i wish they still had the gf sandwich

mekayla96 7 points 1y ago

Try being vegetarian 😭 there’s like 3 options

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 6 points 1y ago

So much truth! I have a vegetarian co-worker who marks out the juices and takes them home 💯

mekayla96 3 points 1y ago

Lol that’s so funny! I’m currently living off the pbj boxes 😂

Relatable 😭

Does the contact with the bread still set off gluten allergy? For those who are gluten free?

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 6 points 1y ago

It does not for me. But I know others who it’s does.

I am gluten free because of the way my body reacts (horrid reflux and bloating) not an actual allergy. So I know for others it’s different.

mayor-em 1 points 1y ago

Im you, reflux all day

Responsible_Snow7109 0 points 1y ago

I have celiac and food that had bread contact doesnt set off my gluten allergy. But there are some things where it will have an immediate effect on me such as if i eat the paninis, ill start feeling bloated and nauseated at some point while I'm eating it. But I've had other things like pastries that are gluten and those don't affect me until a few hours later. Sometimes when I'm really hungry and I don't have food with me from home, I'll eat something with gluten in it but I have my nausea medication with me and I'll take it right after I eat something with gluten but some things I literally can't touch because it will affect me very badly

IthacanPenny 2 points 1y ago

I….. have questions. I don’t think literal celiac’s ever can be that lax on cross contamination. Celiac’s means that gluten is literally poison that is slowly killing your villi in your small intestine. Either you don’t have celiacs or you are doing something very stupid that is causing death in your bowels.

Responsible_Snow7109 2 points 1y ago

After you stop eating foods with gluten, your symptoms will likely get better in a few days. Your small intestine should heal completely in 3 to 6 months. Your villi will be back and working again. If you are older, it may take up to 2 years for your body to heal.

...so ur villi can heal. Im currently working on my condition on trying to cut out gluten completely. Thank u for ur concern tho

IthacanPenny 2 points 1y ago

Whatever dude. Have fun with colorectal cancer. I tried to be kind/helpful. I’m not anymore. You do you. But it’s kind of pathetic not going cold turkey when it’s literally poisoning yourself.

Responsible_Snow7109 0 points 1y ago

Your villi can heal. I said i only eat something with gluten in it when im really extremely hungry and forgot to bring food from home to work with me, which is extremely rare. I shouldnt be eating gluten. Its hard for some newly diagnosed people to eat a strict gluten free diet but but i have my nausea medication with me at all times just in case. My doctor is aware that its hard for me to go strict gluten free since ive been newly diagnosed. Im currently working on the condition.

IthacanPenny 2 points 1y ago

Actually your villi don’t heal. That’s kind of the point.

But I’m sure it’s reealllllllyyyy hard being newly diagnosed. Sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve had several close friends go through celiac’s diagnosis (and have been roommates with two of them during the time when they were diagnosed and went through the de-glutification of my home both times). It’s rough. But you can do it. Good luck!

leytb 3 points 1y ago

looks good tho

LeftManatee1982 [OP] 6 points 1y ago

I was surprised how good it looked. But without the bread it’s so little food 😭

Babs9220 2 points 1y ago

I literally survived 4 years there just eating egg bites for my free food and never took the time or effort to pack food 🤷‍♀️

circulatorysystemm 1 points 1y ago

yesss!! the gf barista side of this reddit😩🥰i’ve been taking out my egg bites with my hands bc the tongs are always so covered at my store😭 i’ll definitely try this bowl! i miss when my store would get salads even tho they weren’t the best, the kale egg bites and avocado spread have my heart

Electrical_Metal_106 1 points 1y ago

I ate my store’s last meat and cheese box today. It was so delicious and now I’m so sad because we are discontinuing them. I miss the salad too.
