I know they may not sound exciting, but they do taste delicious to me, when I can get good potatoes. I use Russets, baby potatoes, or Yukon Gold, so I'm sure any type would work. I bake or microwave them, then put them into a brown paper bag. That lets them cool without sweating. They stay somewhat warm that way. I've done this multiple times on day trips and I've never had any trouble with them spoiling. You can just eat them from your hand like an apple if you leave the skins on and don't cut them up.

I need help with ideas for a lunch that I can eat on the go. I am a rural mail carrier and I don't have a scheduled lunch break. I have to eat while driving most days though some days I can actually take up to 10 minutes to stop and eat. I am having a hard time coming up with satisfying meals that aren't distracting (aka, falling out of a wrap etc., getting mushy before I get to eat it etc.) and having enough that keeps me satisfied until I get home. I can be gone from home anywhere from 7-10 hours a day. Maybe I am just stuck in a mindset but anything to keep me from grabbing a bag of chips at the gas station would be appreciated.
I already do a lot of baby carrots, plum tomatoes, fruit, apples, etc. and frankly get tired of them .
Oh, and I don't like spicy.
TIA!

I have had good success with the McDougall plan in the past. I fell off the wagon when I developed vertigo six years ago. I am slowly improving and have lost 15 pounds since last fall. But since the Covid19 I have regained 7 of those pounds. I am stress eating.
I have a problem. It is called lunch. You see, I am a rural mail carrier and eat while working. Now with this virus I am terrified of eating. We are given one pair of gloves a day and there is no bathrooms to wash up at while driving my 5-7 hour route. Hand sanitizer or even alcohol wipes are not available in our area. Then I have to scrub my car down before I can drive the 30 minutes home. It is frustrating and exhausting. I work six days a week. I find loading up at breakfast doesn't cut it for me so I don't know what to do.
I do try and get out and walk at least 30-40 minutes a day. I am in northern WI where we just got a foot of snow and 40 mph winds so not so much today. I look forward to spring. My bike is being held hostage at the bike repair shop waiting for me to get the time to get it. I love rural life but all the driving gets old.
Anyway, I am looking forward to ideas and sharing.
