How long have you been a NEET?

This.

A $10 investment into ham, cheese and bread goes a LONG way.

You guys think that is the way to go? That's another option I was thinking about. Pick up some deli meat, bread, a block of cheese, and also a bag of apples so I can take one with me to have with my lunch.

A few years. I have worked before, but have had a rough time recently.

Wow, these suggestions are fucking horrible. Animal products are highly perishable, so you shouldn't leave them unrefrigerated to begin with. They're also expensive, unhealthy and taste like shit unless heated. It's like you deliberately picked the worst possible option for the task. How about you take a raw egg with you as well, Einstein?

There's the door

Alright here's something productive:

Bananas, apples, other fruits
Oats, cereal
Trail mix, nuts, seeds, dried fruits
Canned beans
Bread

>>8835787
Fruit is also a great idea. That plus the sandwiches is basically the easiest you're going to find.

Ham is cured. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. That's the fucking point of curing meat, anon.

>>How about you take a raw egg with you as well

Those don't need refrigeration either.

Wrong

>Bananas, apples, other fruits
Okay, fruit already mentioned. Not a lunch by itself
>Oats, cereal
That's a breakfast
>Trail mix, nuts, seeds, dried fruits
A snack maybe, not a lunch
>Canned beans
You wat
>Bread
Already mentioned, and what would you have with it if not animal products? Veggies only?

I think he meant real cured hams, meats and sausages like they have in Europe, not the garbage americans buy at the supermarket that has "ham" or "bacon" on the label.

fruits, nuts and seeds

>>8835875
You must be used to shitty ham then.

Do you think that ham didn't exist before the advent of the refrigerator? The whole fucking point of ham was that you could cure it so it could be stored for later back in the days before refrigeration.

Not just Europe, anon. Here's an example from Tennessee.

And you know what's pretty cool? Not only does this stuff kick the shit out of anything you'd find in a typical US deli or supermarket, it's cheaper than most of it too!

Last ham I bought, from Benton's, weighed right at 15 lbs and cost $74 (that includes the cost of shipping). That's less than $5/lb. Cheaper than all but the crappiest of wal-mart deli hams.

Wrong. Bring 10 bananas, 30 almonds and it's a lunch
>That's a breakfast
Wrong
It's a lunch when you eat it at lunchtime. That's why they call it lunch.
And only if you're an obese carbphobe who can't digest a potato without losing a leg.
>A snack maybe, not a lunch
Wrong
>Already mentioned, and what would you have with it if not animal products? Veggies only?
Peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower spread, beans, fruits, or just nothing

And yes, you can bring vegetables. But vegetables are full of water instead of calories, so you're just carrying a bunch of water from A to B. You can eat this at home
