quick food on the go

*collapses in a heap*

Midterms are FINALLY over (with the exception of my English, which is tomorrow and shall be cake) and Spring Break is here. I now have a chance to re-organize and begin trying again to eat better.

So since the start of the semester I have been going non-stop and my diet has been made up almost entirely of sandwiches and things I can grab and go. No, I am not interested in how I have to just spend 15 minutes and I can get something good. I leave my house at 7 for class at 8, I finish class then go to work, I get off work and go directly to class, which ends between 9 and 9:30, I get home around 10. I do homework, I go to bed between 11 and 1 depending on how many problems I have. Any snacks or meals that are not bread-based are eaten after 11pm.

So, I need to know about food that can be grabbed and brought along with me. I love Subway, but it eats into my budget if I'm there every day. I have a case of bottled water in my car which is what I've been drinking from for the past 3 months (obviously I've been replacing it when it runs out). I can't keep a fridge and stove in there so my options are limited. Any ideas?

I keep fruit options in my trunk as well as peanut butter and 100 calorie English muffins. I also keep my measured out portion for protein shakes in a plastic baggy and fiber one bars. I'm always on the go too. Does your work offer a break room with a fridge and plastic utensils??

No, my store doesn't offer a break and there's no microwave or anything like that. I had been putting some things in the back of our store coolers and keeping forks in my trunk, but they (the forks) get lost in my car. There is a cafeteria on campus, but the food there looks gross.
