I know this isn't ideal, but so many of the packets have really grossed me out. I feel really great on IP so far, but I am definitely still struggling with trying to figure out how to make it work for my lifestyle.
I like to have a hard boiled egg with my lettuce, maybe you could squeeze some of those in and use the packet at dinner. You could also try the chocolate spinach shake for breakfast and put two cups in instead of one. That would free up your lunch for a bar, RTD, or pudding. Have you tried the jello? It is really good and sets up really fast. Do you get a break for every four hours you work? You could have a cup of veggies at each break and a bar at lunch.
I wouldn't skip a packet, this diet is set up this way for a reason. I think you could risking going into starvation mode.
It can take so me time to get your equilibrium, hang in there.
