Car habit

That makes a lot of sense.  My drive is pretty short, only 3 hours, so I should be fine with just one well-planned snack if I find I really must have something.  

I like your plan of having emergency supplies in your inconveniently located carry-on.  I will definitely have to use this trick to my advantage.  I'd imagine while driving that putting something in the trunk so that I had to stop to get it out would serve the same function. :)

(Argh, peanuts.  For me it's those Delta Biscoff cookies.  SO GOOD.)

I always keep water or a protein shake in the car next to me. And I keep SF gum in my purse in case I need to chew something.

Thanks!  I did the water and shake thing, but I was unprepared for the need to crunch :D

Dry roasted edamame. Has protein but feels like I'm snacking on peanuts or popcorn

I wish I liked the dry roasted kind.  I bought a case, hoping I would, and ended up having to give them to my vegan bff. :(  But I did just get a bag of the freeze-dried kind, so I'm hoping I might like those better.

Beef jerky, Pure protein bar, Powerade Zero and water works for me. I've been doing a 3hr drive one way every week and I try and keep it simple.

I like the idea of jerky - I just picked up some salmon jerky I'm looking forward to trying!  (I was only allowed soft solids for this particular trip, but tomorrow I start my forever diet.)  Hopefully when I pick my cow up from the farm at the end of the month they'll have some beef jerky so I can stock up.   Yum.

Mentally, this is hard for me. Long drives always had food to go along with them. It's a habit that can drive me crazy.

So much mental reprogramming to do :(
