Hey everyone, so i need some sort of filling food that will be able to be kept in my car during class until i can i can get it at lunch. I usually eat just an apple for lunch but i need something more substantial so i don't over eat when i get home from work. Anyone have any ideas??

    Apple and PowerBar Protein Plus Dulce de Leche. 30g of protein. It's a meal.
    Also, you could keep some frosted mini-wheats in your car. Just pop 'em like a snack.

    Almonds, flavored or raw, a little handful is so satisfying and keeps well. Also they're only 160 per ounce. Or jerky. It also keeps really well and the protein helps make you feel satisfied for a long time.

    almonds, wraps with almond butter or peanut butter and bananas or apples, baby carrots. Kashi bars are quick grab items too that will hold you for a while. (Not horrendous as far as the nutrition goes)

    Beef jerky would probably be good.

    popcorn! You can have a LOT of it for few calories.

    I agree that an insulated lunch bag and an ice pack really expands your options.

    Otherwise, I would go for nuts, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, granola bars, etc. Just read the labels before you decide.
