Hi Annmaureen,
 
There is a new book out just hot off the press that might be helpful to you.
 The book is called Against the Grain by Jax Peters Lowell.  She has a very
good approach to all of the things you complain about.  I travel a lot and
its not possible to always carry your own food and I have managed very well.
 Good Luck, Bev
