The reason I ask, is because I have never eaten/seen one before. When I looked it up on their website, it listed more than the bun, meat, cheese, bacon, ketchup, and mayo... it also lists Cheese Sauce and Honey Mustard Sauce. So that's why I was wondering if you just ordered it "bunless" with no ketchup, or specifically asked for meat, cheese, bacon and mayo.

You also had bacon for breakfast, right? More sodium.
I know that at times it's a giant pain in the a$$ to have to prepare fresh food ahead of time, but that is just the way that it is. I carry an insulated lunch container with me, filled with roast slices (roast that I made myself, so I know what's in it), string cheese, along with ziplock baggies filled with 1 cup portions of veggies. Once you start seeing the results of the effort, you will be better motivated to get into the groove.
