Help! I need to lose weight, but my job has me in the car several hours a day about three times per week. This means, my lunch and any snacks have to be healthy and portable. Some days I have to hit the road so early that my breakfast has to happen in the car too! I need some healthy options. Please give me ideas. Thanks!

    Invest in an insulated lunch bag / box. Freeze a bottle of water as your cooling source. Stock with your favorites

    I take the bus to work and can't have food on it, so I drink a breakfast shake in the morning during my commute. The Kroger ones were good and more of a meal, right now I'm drinking the skinny girl ones which are healthier and only 80 calories so they are more of a snack.

    I agree pre planning is the key. Protein packed finger food. I've been taking those p3 packages. Super convenient.

    Overnight oatmeal for breakfast? You can grab a jar and go. For lunch, pastas, rolls, wraps, salads...loads you can take in a box. Homous and carrot sticks, nuts, fruit, oatcakes.

    once you start to meal prep it will become easier. like the ladies suggested preplan and there are some god choices that i wold have told you already myself. with remade protein shakes be careful look at the sugar and protein grams. thats with any protein period look for a low sugar high protein protein shake or protein powder. i personally use iso-100 1g sugar 21 grams in protein and i drink that in the morning sometimes with just water or almond milk and its filling. sometimes i also eat a scoop of peanut butter with my protein shake for more filing. hope this helps. feel free to add me.
