have in their car or bag at all times for being on the go constantly?

If you are running all the time to kids sporting events that could run long....or decide to stay out a bit longer on a day of shopping....what are your must have non perishable staples??!

I always have a couple of Protein Bars in my purse...sometimes, a banana on board...Pure Protein has a new protein cookie out...Cinnamon Swirl... Walgreens has them here...try it, you'll think you died and found Heaven!! Water, always and sometimes, I pull in and get a cold, cold Apple juice.< /p>

I dont find I need to carry anything.

If I get caught out for a long time and am hungry, well then I am, it wont kill me. But if I know I'll be out - liek today - I have four hours of lectures and tutes today between 10 and 2 and I'll leave at about 9 I'll just buy a coffee or two and eat something when I get home - but the only reason I wont buy a sandwich or something at uni (plenty of healthy options there) is coz I'm too cheap to spend $7 on a sandwich. I could take lunch I guess, but it doesnt really worry me to wait.

I have all the running round with kids sports etc too, and generally, as long as I've eaten good meals at Breakfast and lunch, I can wait till 7 or 7.30 when we get home for dinner.

So, lol, I just wing it and starve if I have to. I'm not organised enough to carry food, and I dont eat Protein bars or stuff like that that would be so easy to carry.

the little airline size packets of dry roasted nuts. I hoard them when I travel.... LOL

Newman's Own makes a soy crisp. It looks like and kind of tastes like a rice cake, but it has a lot more flavor. They are fat free, high in Protein and taste great. A few of those in a baggie go a long way. They come in plain, BBQ, white cheddar and cinnamon flavor.

I like those 1 oz. cheese stix too, but they wouldn't do well in a hot car.

My favorite? The mini-size cans of low sodium V-8 juice. They are only 30 calories, nutritious, and thick enough to hold me off until I get home.
