    Can you handle oatmeal, lentils, peas and beans (maybe canned as I know that changes how those are digested)? I like to throw berries and cinnamon (well and nuts but those seem problematic) in my oatmeal, sometimes with some milk. You can get a pretty good size portion for 250 calories

    Oatmeal is fine - I just need to drink water too and it's ok. I think I'll do some experimenting with some flavors and have it instead of eggs for breakfast and save eggs for a snack.
    Thank for the ideas everyone.

    Sounds like some of these might not be available where you are, but my favorites are:

    hard boiled eggs
    greek yogurt
    almonds
    oatmeal (single packs)
    turkey pepperoni slices
    string cheese
    Goldfish crackers
    deli meat
    small square of chocolate

    Thank you everyone for the tips.... I've been shopping and stocked up on some portions of cheese and some rice cakes and other goodies to have in my handbag for emergencies. amxwrmvwdow9.jpeg

    Lots of people mentioned eggs... I often eat 2 eggs for breakfast and dismissed this as it would be too many in one day.... BUT it's a great idea for traveling. I can order 2 hard boiled eggs at breakfast and keep on in my handbag for later in the day :) so thank you those people who mentioned it
