Q on good portable carb source

[ddmartin1003]

right now i eat tuna on salad with an apple for lunch. but i have been advised against fruit as it is more likely to store as fat. so i know that yam would be the best but i have no access to warm this meal up. I am an a construction worker and am always on different locations. i dont like fating cold yams. so i was thinking if all bran or fiber one would be a ok subst. it has a low GI and a lot of fiber, plus no sugar. I would put it on my salad like crutons. Any ideas
Thanks

Fiber One is a great cereal and so is Kashi...Why can't you cook sweet potatoe's, yams, etc at home and take it to work?

I am in a similar delima.
What I do for my carb is I boil sweet potato for 20-30 min till its nice and soft. Then I mash it up similar to mashed potato. It tastes great when cold or hot, and its portable.

Beans are an option: always good cold or not, but not too portable. A salad (in a container) can be full of carbs and fats if put together properly (i.e crutons and tomtoes).
