My boyfriend (28M), and I, (25F) live together. We’re almost through his first year of surgical residency! This month, he has a challenging off-service rotation, working six 12-hour days a week for a month. While quality time together is important, his mental health will need to take precedence during this service. He uses going to the gym as a way to destress. I’m unsure whether I should encourage him to try to go to the gym before work to help him get to bed earlier. I plan and prepare all the meals and snacks for both of us for the week. He prefers meals and snacks that he doesn’t need to heat up this month. Could you suggest some non-protein bar options that he could bring for fuel? I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have for things to pack him.
