Definately get the cooler! Im on the road for 12-14 hours a day, so breakfast and lunch are my main meals and my dinner, well..that is totally different. I don't use my a/c due to fuel effeciency and its rather hot ans muggy so anything big makes me sick as well. You could also, if you don't mind things like cold steak or chicken, cut them into strips a little bigger than stir fry size but smaller than say chicken strip size, fry them up the way you like them (I use butter and seasoning), let them cool and put them in a baggie! I usually can't eat cold meat but with the smaller size they are rather yummie! Take some veggies along as well and you have a nice littel meal that isnt very big and seems to hold up well in a cooler! To keep things cold I freeze 2 of my bottles of water for the day and by the end of my night they have started to melt so I still have some nice cold water after 12 hours!
