thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I really appreciate! I think the preparing or stocking up on good eats of protein in advance will be the best way to go.
not to worry on the beef jerky...not many at a time and luckily it didn't make me crash...i was just felt hungry all day long on both days...today is a little better.
funny thing is i seem to feel more hungry about an hour after eating than i do just before meal time.
