Emergency rations

You're facing a two-hour drive home from wherever, and you don't want to stop to dine.  So you buzz into a gas station market and peruse the shelves for something--anything--that is halfway fit to eat.  You find nothing.  But you're afraid you'll "crash" from hunger on the commute, so you grab some jerky and peanuts.  There go your good intentions for eating "right" today.

A better plan:  pack food you REALLY like wherever you go!  That way you won't face those emergency moments when you're forced to buy the wrong thing at a KwikStop.

Find an insulated lunch bag and keep it stocked with munchies that agree with you.  Stick in some unsalted nuts, fruit (fresh or dried), a stick of cheese, some rice crackers, and maybe even a small tub of Greek yogurt. Add a bottle of water or tea, some sugar free gum, and you've got all the provisions you need to get home, feeling much better than if you ate a king-size bag of Skittles.

When you get home, bring the lunch bag in and stick it right back in the refrigerator so it's ready to be re-stocked for your next road trip.

The right food for you:  Never leave home without it.
