I'm sure like most of you, our lives are more busy and we spend a lot of time running from one place to another. Taking kids from here to there or working tons of hours. I travel for my job... (not so much the last week since my class this week was cancelled) but all next week I'll be at a seminar and I also spend many many nights each month in hotels.

So I'm looking for a great list of the best band foods... I'd like a variety of suggestion from fast food to food you pop in your suitcase or quick an easy on the run food from home.

I'm asking also because I'm not super disipline on "taking my lunch" type food. Also bread doesn't go down so well so a sandwich is usually out of the question. I don't ususally have access to a microwave or fridge so that makes it harder too.

Last, but not least, the food doesn't have to be low calorie. I want healthly whole real food but not necessary "fat free" etc... Sometimes it's just an emergency and my blood suger gets too low from working and running between clients that I have to pull into a fast food rest. Since the last fill I end up getting a milk or something just to correct the low blood suger but not "hurt" my band.

Any ideas?

Also, what do you get when you go to Mexican? or Italian? or what about McDonalds? (if it's the only choice around)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated?

I know this doesn't sound good but it actually tastes great to me and has really saved me. I take an instant Cream of Wheat (I make it with 2/3 cup milk & couple tsp. peanut butter, micro. 2 minutes, add cream of wheat packet and micro. 1 more minute.) I stir it up and put it in little half cup containers. Then I top it with different flavors of yogert. 1 thing of yogert per 1 packet instant Cream of Wheat.

I grab one out of the fridge and take it with me. It usually stays good all day. I don't know how long yogert is supposed to stay out, but I've never had a problem. If I'm eating it at home I micro. a few seconds so the Cream of Wheat will mix with the yogurt. There is a lot of protein and it satisfies my craving for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

And all the time god is good...
