When I have a full day of massages booked, I have 15 minute breaks between each session. I need things that can be eaten quickly, with next to no mess, and enough protein so that I don't feel like I'm starving halfway through the next session. Since I'm gluten-intolerant, the traditional American sandwich just doesn't work for me. Salads are nice when you have time to sit down to eat, but they kind of fail on the no-mess front. A thermos of soup comes a lot closer, if you have some left over from the night before.

I was compromising with various brands of energy bars, but these are mostly highly processed milk and soy protein and high-fructose corn syrup... not exactly a good substitute for a meal.
