Packed lunches I can eat one-handed while driving

One of the things that really frustrates me about my job is that I have to move between sometimes quite distant locations between 12 and 😊1pm, so I am almost always in the car or a taxi on the move over lunchtime. I'm aware that I eat too many sandwiches and am getting portly because of it, but I can't think of anything that I can hold and eat while driving without looking at it that isn't either contained in bread or a pastry item. Can anyone think of anything? I'm always starving, too, so won't be eating a package of spinach like a bag of crisps unless it's an accompaniment to something more substantial.

This is the time that one really wishes that one had been born a pelican.

'The peculiar bird is the pelican,'
'It's beak can hold more than it's belly can,'
'It can hold in it's beak,'
'Enough food for a week'
'But can't drive a car like you can'. 😧

I once saw a woman driving very badly out of the supermarket car park eating a cornetto, with several kids in the car! 🤯

Good grief, that's so irresponsible.

A race to the bottom?
The reality is some people need to eat on the go.
Not exactly a ridiculous ask to get suggestions for things that are easy to eat one handed for those occasions.

I apologise @Branleuse what I clearly did not communicate is really, that companies shouldn't have such terrible conditions for carers / support workers. It's unethical practice by them.
