I need to figure out some more options for “portable starches” in my food plan. Right now the only thing I really eat for starches are brown rice, potatoes, beans or legumes. For example, I will eat meals like this most of the time:

Meat, rice, veggies all mixed up
Meat or tofu, potatoes (sliced or whole, baked), and chopped veggies
Salad with refried beans and meat on top
Chili with meat, veggies and beans

Basically, these are all great meals for eating at home or in a restaurant. However, there are times when I need to eat on the road - like tonight! We are going to a screening of a movie that starts promptly at dinner time for me. The theater is about 1/2 hour or more traveling time from here, so I’ll need to eat my dinner in the car or sneak it into the theater and eat it there. I was planning on bringing chopped up raw veggies and some tuna, but I can’t figure out what to bring for my starch. Times like this make me wish I still had rice cakes on my food plan because they are so portable. I wonder what my sponsor would say to me adding those back - only one way to find out. She’s out of pocket today, though, so I need to come up with a plan that fits my current food plan for tonight.

Any ideas?

As usual your food plan interests me ;)

Out of curiosity I want to ask why rice cakes were taken out prior? I’ve always thought of them as a “good for me” snack and recently was considering buying them again myself. (I just get bored with them after awhile LOL)

I totally was gonna say rice cakes before I even read it…so hmmm now you got me stumped. What about those like wassa crackers with whole wheat..you can get some in rice wheat too I believe!?

This is really old, but I was wondering if jicama is a starch? It seems starchy to me. And it would be portable. It may not be easy to get in your area.
