    Hi, Christy. The following list of quick and portable healthy foods may help:
    •Fresh and dried fruit
    •Cut raw vegetables
    •Oven-baked vegetable chips
    •Nuts and seeds
    •Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
    •Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
    •Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
    •Hard-boiled eggs
    •Sliced or string cheese
    •Cottage cheese
    •Yogurt
    •Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
    •Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
    •Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
    •Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
    •Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
    •Canned beans
    •Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
    •Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
    •Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa

    Thank you so much for your help. I plan to do my meals at the weekend and shopping and get all my meals and snakes ready. Bag my nuts in the portion sizes I am allowed and so on. I am going to get a home bike to help me as I have to watch the exercise I do. I am so desperate to reach my goal. I am always hungry and think of nothing but food. I hope this diet will work for me.

    Bless you

    Hi, Cristy. Yes, that’s great – especially if there is no added hydrogenated fat or refined sugar.
