I work in the oilfield as a supervisor with a service company. My time anymore is spent 50/50 office/field. But when there are issues on site I can be there anywhere from 14-40 hours. I pack a lunch almost every day because its healthier and cheaper than fast food, but I have a cache of canned goods and packs in my truck. My current stash consists of canned chili, beef stew, ravioli, spaghetti-o's, spam singles, packs of plain and flavored tuna, and packs of bbq and Buffalo chicken. I was recently gifted a 12v DC powered heated lunch box that is an absloute game changer for heated meals/snacks. Wish I could have had it years ago when I worked un the coal mines
Canned spaghetti is inexplicably popular in New Zealand - or at least was during our year there. I was a parent-chaperone on a school trip, and for breakfast one day we ate canned spaghetti over Vegemited toast. But we never had it on pancakes and syrup ...
I mentioned it earlier, but wasn't thinking of it in a can.
Canned chicken in water. Add some Cholula hot sauce: perfect
This is one of the few things I eat that comes from a can, it's kinda mostly "gravy" since it's only like $1.25/can, but I usually cook a small portion of rice and mix it in and add a little hot sauce.

That actually seems interesting in an odd way.I mentioned it earlier, but wasn't thinking of it in a can.
Not 'canned' technically, but I've been enjoying these lately with some chopped egg, radish, pickle, serrano pepper, and some mayo made into a salad/bread spread.

Raviolis, wolf brand chilli, Vienna sausage, ranch style beans with jalapenos, & chunky soup any kind.
Then you haven't been that hungry yet! Go plant a 1500 trees before lunch and have to plant 1500 more that afternoon and you would be enjoying spaghettios like Kobe Beef, if spaghettios is what you have...
What's your beef with beef stew? For millennia, armies have marched on bellies filled with stew. Even someone who can't cook can cook a passable stew. What about Chinese snail stew? You like Chinese food.
Goulash mortar:
A few people have suggested tuna as an ideal canned food. We like it too but we don't eat it very often (maybe once a month). Tuna is high on the food chain and contains mercury. Don't know how often, but small amounts and sometimes would be enough.
A principle of toxicology is that "the dose makes the poison". So there is no need to avoid tuna completely, but it would be better to go easy on it.

Or you can go with low-mercury tuna. There are several options. Safe Catch tests every fish and sets a limit of 0.1ppm mercury which is 10x stricter than the FDA's limit. Keep in mind that the FDA limit is not enforced and that the limit is often exceeded.
