3. I like roasted chickpeas

My dollar store has chickpeas that are roasted so they are crunchy like a nut, with a chili-lime flavor. They're delicious, super cheap (actually a good value unlike some other dollar store items), high fiber and high protein, and low calorie.

Staying on the chickpea theme, you can also buy cans of hummus which would work well with pita bread for dipping. Or do a classic hummus and fresh spinach leaf sandwich on good quality bread.

Peanut butter sandwiches are a classic, though not as good for weight loss because you can do carbs and low fat, or low fat and carbs, but when you combine the fat and carbs the calories seem to convert to fat much quicker.

Vegetarian sushi rolls travel well, and you could have a side thing for soy sauce for dipping.

Tabouleh should travel okay.
