So class starts today. I will be there for 4 houts and need something to bring to eat that doesn't need to be cooked/ heated. Any ideas? I was thinking meal bars but have never tried them. Are there any tasty low cal, low sugar ones out there?

Tuna, they make a 3oz tuna salad in a box with 3 crackers??

Great idea, Kim! Thanks!

I like Quest Bars and Pure Protein bars so far.

I like to carry beef jerky or turkey jerky with me for those times when I need something in a hurry.

i like Pure Protein bars.

Where do y'all find the protein bars?

You can find protein bars at any drug store, GNC, or Walmart. Some of them are very good, and if you are concerned about carbs the Atkin's brand bars are really good and better for you.

Cool thanks!

I used to put protein powder in a mixer bottle then took a bottle of water and mixed it up when I was ready to drink. Also I would take a little insulated lunch bag and pack fruit, veggies and string cheese

Good luck this semester, I started back today too

My school has microwaves, so this weekend I made a bunch of cupcake recipes and I have a little tiny lunch box that's fits 2 perfectly, and it has a little ice pack in the lid, its awesome so I do that. I throw a string cheese in, and I am good, but you could do cottage cheese & fruit, egg salad, tuna salad, etc. I love the little box because I can't be lifting a lunch box around all day on campus.

Here is the box I use, it was 7 dollars for a pack of 4 and its turned out great! It even has measurements ob the sides.

You know, Alley, I have something very similar to that and I totally forgot about it!! Haha I swear I have no idea where my brain is sometimes! Thanks for the ideas!

Lunch meat roll ups are a good idea too. Obviously can't leave them out all day but if you eat them in a few hours its okay. Hummus with cucumber chips- I do that a lot as a snack.

I'm so glad someone posted about this because I was worried about what I was gonna do about school and meals in a couple weeks.
