I've been eating the tuna salad to go packets. Roughly a buck and they give a good bit of protein and a little carbs. Not a lot but enough to hold me over for a bit. You could do that or some real nice protein bars. Or heck if you wanna save a buck look at lunchables. Super low in fat and a good amount of protein to carbs. Not the best post workout meal but it's something.

All of mine are made with protein powder, far from a sugar overload.
Each Cookie
Calories ~ 110
Fat ~ 2.5g
Carbs ~ 14.1g
Protein ~ 7.5g

Each Cupcake:
Per Serving (6 Cupcakes)
Calories ~ 128
Protein ~ 11.5g
Carbs ~ 16g
Fat ~ 2g

Sometimes you need to realize that life is not all about casein before you go to bed (which is a myth)
Having an isolate post-workout. At the end of the day micronutrients do matter, macros matter, but there is more to the puzzle then what people deem as "Clean Eating" and limiting your food sources to X or Y.

I suggest you read this article which should open your eyes on more flexibility in your diet and stop restricting yourself.

http://www.simplyshredded.com/research-review-the-dirt-on-clean-eating-written-by-nutrition-expert-alan-aragon.html

" you can substitute any controversial food or nutrient in place of the word fructose, and the same principle would apply. A greater range of dietary flexibility is one of the luxuries of regular training. Sedentary individuals do not have the same level of safeguarding from the potentially adverse effects of a higher proportion of indulgence foods. And just in case it wasn’t made clear enough, 10-20% indicates the maximum, not minimum discretionary allotment. If someone strives to consume 0% of calories from any food that’s been processed or refined from its original state, then that’s perfectly fine – as long as this is the person’s genuine preference, and not a painful battle of will."

"f we use a 2000 kcal diet as an example, a flat/linear approach would mean that 200-400 kcal per day can come from whatever you want, while meeting essential needs otherwise in the diet. Weekly, this translates to 1400-2800 kcal, depending on the factors I previously discussed. One nonlinear option would be to break the weekly allotment in half, where 2 days per week you indulge in 700-1400 kcal of whatever you want, keeping the remaining 5 days relatively Spartan. Again, there is no universally superior method of distributing the discretionary allotment. The same principle applies to the choice of foods to fulfill it."

A lot of Bob's recipes are easy to make and very portable. Great macros for anyone as well. I think some of them he made during prep which makes them very friendly to anyone. Subscribe to his YouTube for recipes.
