String cheese works nicely in a pinch

Nonfat milk always works in a pinch (they never have small containers so I just get a quart). Nonfat cottage cheese if they have it, lowfat if they don't. Packet of nuts, sunflower seeds, beef jerky (look for ones with little or no sugar, local brands seem to have less sugar than the national brands). Some of the mini marts carry Muscle Milk now. Powerade Zero.

Pkg almonds or peanuts and a Greek yogurt or cheese stick.

Beef jerky, string cheese, almonds, yogurt, Protein bars...

I actually find it easier to eat something from a mini-mart than a fast food place because chicken doesn't work for me and I know I can get something small enough so I am not throwing a lot of food away.
