Default Suggestions on my travel foods

So during the week I live 4 days at my home in one part of the state, 3 days at my aunt's house in another (grad school sucks). When I travel between the two I bring a cooler of food that should hold me over for the 3 days. I try to keep it as simple as possible so there's not much prep time and I can eat on the go. I try to keep it to simple meal replacements with a couple of different shakes, with a couple of shaker bottles full of each. My two main drinks are:

Proteins/Fats:
-basically any chocolate/peanut butter combo (chocolate whey, peanut butter, cottage cheese, milk)

and Non-Starch Carbs:
-any fruits/veggies laying around with some sugar-free strawberry jell-o:
(strawberries, bananas, spinach, broccoli, green beans, flax)

Non-Shake Foods are mostly:
-a pack of deli turkey or chicken
-a few pieces of light whole wheat bread
-a few sticks of low-fat string cheese
-bag of almonds/walnuts/pumpkin seeds/raisins/whatever
- couple green tea bags

I also keep a couple small shaker bottles full of 30g of protein (just add water) in case I'm in a pinch.

This is all so I don't have to spend money at the convenience store during my breaks at school. When I get back to my aunt's house, I eat 2-3 egg omelets with turkey or chicken for dinner. I figure it could be a lot better but this is the quickest and easiest I've thought of so far.

It's worked well for the last few weeks, give or take a couple slacker days. Does anybody have ideas on how to improve this basic on-the-road eating plan? I'm sure people have had to travel like this at some point.

I am in a sales job so I am on the road alot also. I really like the starkist tuna in a pouch that doesn't have all the water in it like the can. I also cook a bag of chicken breast, pack of steaks, salmon, pork chops or whatever I can season on the go with hot sauce, salsa, or what ever I can throw together in a snap on Sundays and pack them along with me. I try to keep fruit like apples, pears, and plums in the car with me. Beef jerky helps get me through on the road until I can get home and get a real meal in me. Bags on mixed raw veggies that I can eat while I am driving come in handy to.

I also keep a sandwich bag of protein powder, peanuts, and sunflower seeds in my console.
