Isn't jerky loaded with it? The one thing that I wondered about when watching your piece was the sodium in jerky. Isn’t jerky loaded with it?

My experience from working in a 350-store chain is that the normal fare, IF they carry yogurt, is your typical little tub of Yoplait that has over 25 grams of sugar. But then we don't have "gourmet" c-stores in this neck o' the woods! Yep, doing your homework is a good idea.

Many of our gas stations are known as 'gourmet gas stations' and include a wonderful deli. It's always quite a surprise for visitors when we take them out to lunch at the local Exxon! :) If you’re ever travelling through Charlottesville, VA then you are in luck.

It is always good to do your homework. Thanks! I have found various yogurts for 8 g of sugar or less. It is always good to do your homework. Thanks!

At the top of the MDA food pyramid is a big "0" for sugar. I dare say that any yogurt availabe at a c-store is going to be chock-full of added sugar. Lala: A comment on your comment.

Another suggestion... yogurt, fruit, and string cheese. Sometimes if you're at the right station they may have hummus platters or fruit and nut platters likewise. I was also surprised to see you recommend protein bars, especially with the purchase of beef jerky. I was thinking you may find a banana or apple which is fairly commonplace at gas stations. You have a great head of hair!

My wife was working at a friend's store a few weeks ago, and the owner of the store's wife dropped by to bring them some dinner. She had gone to Au Bon Pain and grabbed them muffins. I believe she got her husband a chocolate muffin, and she brought my wife a carrot cake muffin, because she knows my wife is into eating healthy foods. She had assumed that because "carrot" was in the muffin's name, that it must be a healthy option.
