Ideas for really simple, portable lunch for a whole family

My husband and I are helping my parents move this weekend (driving about an hour and a half from where we live, so we can't just run back to our house.) My mom is trying to lose weight, but gives up very easily and with one bad meal, declares she's "ruined the day," and goes on to eat horribly. My dad loves to eat, the greasier and larger the portions, the better. He is starting to look like a heart attack waiting to happen.

Anyway, while we're moving, people will get hungry. What are some portable and easy-to-eat foods that are pretty healthy that I can bring with us, that don't sound/look like diet foods?

Can't do sandwiches b/c my mom will decide that the bread is too unhealthy to eat (even if it's low cal/low carb), so she'll go out and order a burger but pick off half the bun, when the half bun is bigger than the 2 slices of bread and the burger is covered in cheese/bacon.....

Just looking for some ideas! Preferably ideas that don't end up with garbage (i.e. apples - what to do with the pit).

Thanks!!
