I'm attending some day long meetings coming up and I will not have access to a refrigerator or microwave for my meals or snacks. Most people will be eating out... I will likely have to bring a couple protein shakes but does anyone have any ideas for easy take-along snacks?

*not allowed nuts or crackers or beef jerky yet... Only 35 days PO

I carry the tuna pouches with me when I'm going to be out and away from a fridge.

Oh and the individual packs of applesauce

I often haul around a little cooler (the kind that with a strap that you can carry on your shoulder) when I have to be out and about for the day without a refrigerator. It holds a day's worth of food/protein shakes and the ice keeps it cold. I think mine cost $25 at Target.

Cookie Chips (https://hannahmax.com/) and Good Thins (http://www.goodthins.com/) .. so yummy BUT pay attention to the serving sizes! Its all about portion control =D

**Sorry didnt see the no nuts/crackers ... but keep these in mind**

I've been doing "deli rolls" and they've been pretty good. I basically take a piece of lunch meat and slice of cheese and roll it up. You can try all kinds of meats and cheeses that work for you but I like the turkey and American and the ham and Monterey Jack the best. Also there are fruit cups and snack sized cheeses that I really enjoy and have worked well for me. Just be careful about the juice in the fruit because it could have a lot of sugar.

There are various snacks for sale in the bariatricpal store.
Also look at some of the powdered soups. You should be able to get hot water at any Starbucks or similar place. Oatmeal packages too. The meeting may even offer hot water for tea that you can use.
I second the tuna packs. They are a great go to for me.

Protein bars are a good option. They can fill you up and help you get your protein in.

I do this also. My ice is still there at the end of the day! Bringing the lunchbox is good too because they always have bad food choices at work meetings. Prepare your own.
