Careful with the Biscoff cookies, have you guys seen the sugar content, dam cookings are going to require you take insulin later in life

It's cheap, non-perishable, and way better than alot of things you could be eating.

Get yourself a "P38 military can opener" then you don't have to limit yourself to the fliptop lids. I have been carrying one of these for years. Its so small that security has never even opened up my bag to see what it is.

Sounds like the same thing I have been consuming daily for years. Theres a version of chocolate chip peanut butter granola bar made by Quaker that has 100 calories, plus another that I actually like more made by ConAgra Foods rebranded locally all over the country as Kroger Ingles Dillons Publix or what have you. $.20 apiece, low fat, taste great alone or dipped in coffee.

I used to love those biscoff cookies with coffee. That ended when I got food poisoning on an overnight and I had the pleasure of tasting those cookies for a second time. Although I am sure the cookies were not the culprit, I haven't been able to touch one in almost 6 years.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned Beef Jerky. Also, nuts, Tuna, canned fruit (with the fliptop or the MacGuyver can opener above) granola bars, etc etc. You can also bring soup and use the coffee maker to heat it up.
