Uncle Ben's is now offering Ready Made rice in Microwaveable pouches. They run about $1.75 each, and somewhere between 400 and 460 Calories for the entire pouch. They are available in a wide variety of flavors and varieties, some with other whole grains in them. I have been mixing one of these pouches with one of the Small-midsize foil packets of tuna and eating half around Noon and the other half around 3 or 4 in the afternoon but the whole thing is not half as bad as a big mac calorie wise.

The foil packs are easy to carry, and eliminate the need for a plate or bowl if you are in that much of a hurry. They are not bad for you, relatively inexpensive, and there are enough variations in flavors of Tuna and flavors of rice, that you can mix it up pretty well.

Throw in some Chipotle Tabasco sauce or the hot sauce of your choice, or even Italian dressing and you can mix it up more.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but between this, Fresh fruit, and all u can drink coffee at work I've been hangin in there.

Good times,
Blake
