Having a year of college under my belt I can say that I packed on some pounds from eating food I got at the cafe at school. I want to keep losing weight (thanks to the flu I lost a few pounds) and I don’t want to reverse it.
The worst part is the food at school isn’t that good, except maybe the salad. Anyway I have a problem. Thursday I have ten minutes between my 2 classes. I will be in class from noon until 7 PM. Now I am pretty sure the 2nd class, the 5 hr class, will have breaks but I will assume they will only be ten minutes.
This class is my bakery production class so concentration is good but also protein. I am not a vegetarian. I need to obviously bring my food with me. I am not bringing brown paper lunch bags so I need something to hold the food. I need filling and tasty options that are low on grease and carbs. I want to feel full. I do love all kinds of fruit. Not a big fan of bread but do like a turkey ham sandwich.
Any ideas? I do not like cheese but can tolerate one mozz cheese stick. Not a dairy fan at all actually. Not a big nut fan either though I LOVE cashews. Also, who makes a great lunch tote? I want to get it personalized! Thanks everyone for your inputs and please if there are links for lunch totes and college (and waistline) friendly foods I can eat fast please do share your links 
Pack yourself a bento!!
What is that Jayme?
Hmm… the only things I can think of that are fast and easy are sandwiches (though they get boring really quickly), carrots with ranch dip (low-fat of course) and ‘healthy’ stuff like that. Sorry I’m not much help but I’m not very good at eating healthy either.
I’m your newest follower, by the way!

If your not a fan of bread you could try wraps, my husband uses a few wraps that have over 5 grams of fiber per wrap. (To have a feeling of fullness that is what you should be looking for adequate fiber at least 3 grams per meal and a little fat as well.) Maybe a nice wrap with avocado for the fat source and some low sodium lunchmeat…or forgo the highly salted deli meat and precook some chicken a few nights before slice thin and refridgerate. I am a cheese and nut fan myself…are there any yogurts you like? Those can be grabbed fast. If you like nut butters at all, you could mix 1/2 cup nut butter to a few tsp honey add some ground nuts or dried milk to consistency and you have highly nutritious nut candy. You could make some oatmeal cookies in preparation for the week or homemade granola bars….hmmm…my husband has become quite fond of the Cliff builder bars – high protein and not from whey (yay) Atkins are not good for the lactose intolerant! They are sold at Sams 18 count for 18.88
Good suggestions thank you! I will have to nix the Avacado, not something I like at all, but the other stuff sounds ok. I like the idea of wraps too, as long as they don’t get soggy but then I could bring all the ingredients and whip up a wrap real quick. And DEFINITELY on the oatmeal cookies they are my FAVE!
If you use a insulated lunch bag with a freezer pack your food choices
are pretty much unlimited. Check out some of the great designs in our Cool

Bags store.
