Hi drive 10 to 11 hours a day .

How about popcorn? No fat added and air popped. Makes a great snack and it's whole grains.

If you got a thermos for hot foods, you could heat soup at home and take it with you. Other than that, I can only think of fruits and raw veggies, low calorie crackers, and hummus or laughing cow cheese wedges. Sugar free pudding cups that are shelf stable would work for a sweet tooth kind of snack.

I am interested in other responses as well. I am about to go to college and don't want to bulk back up eating junk on campus.

The cooler ideas a really good one. And you can pick up some small-ish ones if space is an issue.

I may be a bit weird, but I like making my own stir fry type meal and eating it cold for lunch/dinner.

My stir 'fry' usually consists of:

Wholemeal noodles or spaghetti/udon noodles
Chicken or prawns (steamed)
Red onion, sweet pepper or red pepper + whatever other vegetables I'm in the mood for (sometimes steamed sometimes stir fried with a spray of olive oil)

For flavour:
Freshly chopped coriander
Freshly chopped chilli
Clove of garlic
Freshly squeezed lemon juice (sometimes lime)
Grated ginger

If I'm going over on carbs I leave out the noodles, if I'm not in the mood for meat I leave out the meat but to increase calories and protein I may add some pumpkin seeds or any other kind of seeds nuts (depends what I have in the cupboard).

Here are a few of the snacks I like:

-Don't know if you like celery, but peanut butter on celery is always a good choice.
-a handful of nuts (just be sure to stick to 1oz - I get the snack baggies and measure out an ounce into each bag instead of grabbing from the container) along with a piece of fruit
-if you have a cooler, hard-boiled eggs (peel them before you leave and put in a baggie, that way you don't have to try to peel it while you're eating)
-again, if you have a cooler, yogurt is a good option - throw in a 1/4 cup of grape-nuts to make it a little more filling

If you're looking for more meal-like suggestions:

-salad wrap - put some tossed salad in a baggie or container (add some of that chicken or other meat), put a serving of salad dressing in another container and thow a wrap in a baggie - when you're ready, add the salad dressing to the salad, mix then dump on the wrap, roll it up and viola! lunch :happy:
-if you like tuna or chicken salad, you could do a wrap with those also - I like to add LOTS of veggies (diced carrots, chopped celery, chopped brocoli & cauliflower) when I make my tuna or chicken salad - take some in a separate container from your wrap so the wrap doesn't get all soggy :sick:


Finally, I don't know what your financial situation is, but I did a little research for you. I knew there were little fridges that you could plug into the cigarette lighter and that some of those fridges also have the capacity to heat, but I had no idea there were so many gadgets out there, even little ovens that plug into the cigarette lighter! I've posted a few links to some of them below. If you have the financial means, it might be a great investment to get one of them.:drinker:

Take a look at these sites to get an idea of what's out there, then search on Amazon or Ebay for the best price.:bigsmile:
