I'd rather bring my own food than eat cheap crap on the road. My wife has specific dietary needs and she's a good cook so everything she makes for me to take tastes better and is healthier than 95% of the crap available at the airport or near the hotel. Some guys don't like the hassle of packing their own food though and you do have to get creative if your hotel room doesn't have a refrigerator so to each their own. I've had food poisoning once already in the past year and before coming to the airlines I hadn't had real deal food poisoning on almost a decade. It isn't a matter of if but when.
I would rather spend the extra few bucks a week and eat like a civilized human rather than spending 2 days puking my guts out every couple of months.
It is not worth the hassle to me to even consider bringing 4 days worth of food. I think that it is unsafe and I do not want to screw my crew over by getting sick at an outstation and delaying them getting home.
If you delay me on day 4 because you have been eating bacteria riddled food for 4 days and are now sick, I will drag you into the parking lot and kick you in the taint.

Oatmeal, peanut butter, nuts, protein bars for the kitbag. In the cooler is a couple meals worth of leftovers from the house, yogurt, string cheese, lunch meat, veggies, hummus, guacamole, olives, and seasonal fruit.
I eat the free breakfast if it's good (real eggs, fresh meat). Many of them are nothing but pastries, waffles, and high glycemic foods. I avoid these, as it makes me hungrier later in the day.
When I grocery shop, I spend a little more to buy healthy, but it pays off in feeling better and hopefully fewer medical problems down the line.

Pb leave the j. Peanut butter has plenty of sugar. Buy sandwhich-thins for bread. Buy peanut butter in single serving cups. All this saves cooler space for veggies...real food.
Really workes well for me anyway.
