A convenience store meal can be hard to create, but can be fun to watch the reactions as you do it. Start with just a sandwich or equivalent, such as two pizza rolls or a slice of pizza. This should provide the protein and the majority of the carbs. If the store sells a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes
Do not skimp on condiments as they provide your vegetables. Some stores provide salsa or onions; these are a great start. Catsup and relish should also be included; they may be high in sugar thanks to the corn syrup, but should help provide additional vegetable nutrients.
Any drink should do, but try to avoid the largest drinks. Most people simply can't handle that much liquid at one time.
If you want, add a small bag of chips. This should complete a reasonably healthy meal, but this should not be a regular thing ("regular" in this case means more than once or twice a week)
Diabetics should be wary of this kind of meal. The sandwiches are usually made of enriched wheat, which seriously adds to blood sugar, and there is a lot of sugar involved anyway. It can be fun to try, but it depends on the kinds of cold sandwiches available.
