Suggestions for lunch when you travel

[cid 1]

I was banded on 2-18 and am going back to work tomorrow. I am not taking a full 2 weeks, but I feel ready to go back. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to take with me for lunch. While on the liquid diet it ws easy to carry with me in a cooler while traveling. I do car traveling not airplane. So with that said, anyone else out there with some creative idea's.

Thanks much

I don't know if this will be for you but I can tell you what I have evey day for lunch. I use whole romaine lettuce leaves, grilled chicken breast strips measure out 3 OZ (I buy them at costco), low fat laughing cow cheese triangle, squirt bottle mustard. I spread the cheese on the spine of the lettuce, add chicken, add mustard. Eat as a wrap. I guess the question is whether you can take the 30 minutes to stop and eat or if you are looking for something you can prepare in the morning and eat on the run.

My husband and I travel by car a lot and I just pack the same things I'd eat at home. My favorite is a chef's salad. I just carry little baggies of bacon, chopped hard boiled egg, ham, bibb lettuce and a container of my homemade blue cheese dressing. tuna or chicken salad made with mayo and celery, served on some Tomato slices. Ham and cheese rollups (with a pickle in the middle). sugar free Jello cups.

For fast food chili from Wendy's is good. Also once you are on solids and if you have to eat fast food KFC can be a good choice. I buy grilled chicken breast and take the skin off, two of the following green Beans, corn, potato no gravy, my treat is to eat the crunchie outside of the biscuit (and leave the soft inside).

String cheese for Snacks, rollups using turkey sandwich meat and laughing cow cheese, grilled chicken strips (pre-packaged from the grocery store), sliced cucumber, baby carrots. For fast food, I like Wendy's or Quizno's chili, grilled chicken from KFC, or a plain taco and pintos and cheese from Taco bell.
