Nuts, seeds, cheese, canned tuna or other canned fish, heavily preserved meat snacks like Slim Jims. A jar of peanut butter and a spoon. 3-5 tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter and you've probably eaten your lunch calories and have the rest of the time for relaxation...or a walk.

Buy a good insulated lunch tote and ice pack if you don't already have one. The chilled possibilities become endless then: chicken, chicken salad, eggs, egg salad, deviled eggs, leftover cold meat from dinner. Berries. Salads keep well if chilled.

Eat a healthy, satiating breakfast and skip lunch to clear your mind with a walk (unless you have a medical reason to not skip meals or walk).

Have you already called the courthouse and confirmed that they have neither a microwave nor refrigerator in the Juror's lounge? Have you checked to see if there is a cafeteria in the courthouse and checked their menu? Most courthouses have a restaurant within walking distance. Check their menu for options. Most places offer a salad or a bunless burger.

Tip of the day: Use this time to learn that food does not have to be difficult or glamorous to be nutritious and provide satiety. And don't forget to pack eating utensils.
