lunches that don't need fridge or microwave?

[Littlemermaidklb]

Next week I have training classes three of my 4 work days. We'll be pretty much confined to one room the whole time and I'm guessing no access to fridge or microwave. I really do not want to have to go out and buy lunch all three days... any suggestions what I could bring that doesn't need to be refrigerated or warmed up?
Thanks!

pbj, bars, nuts/snack mix, raw veggies, fruit cups, cheese…

a lunch bag with a cold pack will broaden your choices considerably allowing for many other kinds of sammiches, salads, yogurts, cottage cheese…

I agree. You can get one of those insulated bags and put something frozen in there to keep it all cool.

It's a great excuse for peanut butter 3 days in a row though.

I eat a lot of tabbouleh and pasta salads

I eat stuff that's been out for hours, too. But, generally speaking, those things ought to be kept cold. Especially if there are animal products in the mix.

I also remember dragging a bologna sandwich around with me for 4-5 hours when I was in school on 90 degree days. Never got sick, but I doubt I'd do the same thing now. Hmmm...

no animal products- just grains, beans, veggies and citrus juice. I figure in my insulated lunch box in my locker they're okay for a few hours :p

Im horrible for eating food that have been out longer then they should be. In the morning ill pack some chicken breasts into a few ziplock bags and eat them at 4pm if thats when I get the chance. How bad is this?

Sometimes I think we are too paranoid now. I have a friend who is obsessively clean. Always cleaning things with bleach...and she and her kids area always sick. Not that I'm a big proponent of salmonella or anything.

Beef jerky, nuts, and fresh veggies and fruits can go a long way and don't need to be refrigerated.

buy a cooler (one that you can put on your shoulders and walk with it and fits your lunch in) and an ice pack. I work out at velocity sports performance at 6am in the morning and then I go to school and then I don't eat until about 11:30. Everything is still cold. I had a lemonade, salad dressing, and salad with tuna fish, cucumbers, brocolli, and radishes.

Starkist has Tuna pouches out now that have sauce already mixed in to them. They are delicious. I like the hickory smoked, the wife likes the tomato pesto.
