Where do you grab inexpensive healthy food on the go?

Any place you can get a chicken bowl tends to be somewhat reasonable healthwise. El Pollo Loco, Baja Fresh, Rubios, Flamebroiler - typically around the $5 price and depending on the place you can make it more or less healthy depending on the flavors and your individual goals.

I tend to keep bags of almonds and kind bars in my car and work drawer when I need a snack and I'm out and about. Or nut clusters from Fresh and Easy.

If you can do prepared food - Fresh and Easy and Trader Joes both have nutritious pre-packaged meals. Fresh and Easy even has a 'healthy' line.

If you are in a bind, kid's meals are also a good option. Appropriate portion sizes, inexpensive - and sometimes you get a toy!

When I'm at anime/comic conventions all day, I bring beef jerky, nuts, and if I want fiber, some fruit. Not affiliated with the site, but you can get 14 oz bags of jerky from Damn Good Jerky for $23 (not counting the cost of shipping) and they often do holiday sales. Right now everything is 30% off for St. Patty's day. If you're looking for something to hold you over at fast food places, McDonald's has the Premium McWrap with Grilled Chicken & Bacon for 480 calories (and 36 grams of protein), Taco Bell's chicken soft tacos are low calorie at 160 calories each (with 12 grams of protein), Wendy's has their Ultimate Chicken Grill for 370 calories (and 34 grams of protein), so there are definitely options. Greek yogurt is an easy way to get your protein fix, and you can cut up and pre-package your own fruits (blueberries and strawberries offer a good amount of fiber).
