It's so quick n easy.

And what is nutritious and balanced about that??

Turkey, avocado and sprouts on a nice whole grain bread.
If you mash the avocado a bit it takes the place of a mayo type spread or dressing.

This is about the only way I can bring myself to eat whole grain bread..

Almonds or peanuts and dried fruit are a nutritious snack. You could add beef or turkey jerkey for protein and have no worries about refrigeration. Remember the water though

Hard boiled egg smells so bad that it stinks up my fridge if I have a couple of eggs in a freezer bag. It has a ton of smell, to me.

With the shell on?

Maybe just take some trail mix. If easy is the goal. Easy to store, easy to eat. Preparation consists of opening the package.

Hard steam your eggs instead of boiling them and throw them in an ice bath (to stop the egg from continuing to cook and the reaction from iron in the yolk and the hydrogen sulfide compounds in egg whites) and you won't have that weird sulfur smell. Works like a charm every time!

Thats a great idea, and so is a regular potato. If you dumped on some kind of protein, it would stick with you longer. Like maybe some chopped ham on the sweet potato, or some leftover chili and cheese on the white one.

turkey sandwich, hard boiled egg, glass of milk.

Hummus with carrots to dip into, plus an apple & bottle of water. At least buy an insulated lunch bag & tiny thing to freeze for keeping contents chilled. I wouldn't eat a HB egg that has been sitting at room temp & warmer.
