How about a big bag of jerky in the desk drawer? I find I can eat it at as a meal-substitute any time of day or night. It doesn't take much to take the edge off a hunger. If you look hard enough, there are brands without added sugar and massive amounts of preservatives. You can probably make your own as well.
I'm not fussy, I'm just particular.

I find the Oatly brand of oat milk highly acceptable even as a milk drinker (Mom is vegan so I have tried a few). If you are a coffee drinker, the vegan creamers taste much better in coffee than the vegan milks. Also, if it turns out you are ok with the A2 casein I have seen A2 milk in the store lately, but reading up on it it sounds like it isn’t 100% A1free and I have no idea how sensitive you are.
But yeah, a session (or a few) with a nutritionist sounds like a very good idea.

Fortunately I do not have allergy issues or sensitivities to any foods, so I'm the last person to make suggestions. But reading through these postings, Kipper, I'm wondering if you might ask your nutritionist if any of the protein powders which are readily available could be a good idea for you. I have seen people carrying around blender cups/mugs containing their protein smoothies so it seems on the surface an option for no muss, no fuss.

Does the egg aversion also include crustless quiche/frittata type options? I usually do an Asian type quiche where the dairy is substituted with broth. I also use firmer veggies such as pre-cooked potatoes, spinach, corn and broccoli so they don't fall apart as easily without the help of any cheese to bind. It's similar to the egg pucks that they have in Starbucks but without the dairy. Most of the time I just chop up dinner leftovers, maybe add more spinach, top with the egg-broth mixture and then put them all in a medium oven-proof dish and either steam in a pressure cooker or bake in the oven. Then slice into small bite-sized squares or use a muffin pan if you prefer the round shape.
For dairy-free, gluten-free options I find it easier to think of dinner for breakfast instead of traditional breakfast items. For example, rice balls filled with homemade breadcrumb-free meatballs, or potato balls/patties filled with the same.

Seriously, yogurt has been my breakfast for ages because I keep plastic spoons in one of my desk drawers, I don't need to heat it up, package it up, etc. I just grab it from the fridge at home, bring it in to work, and eat while I'm reading emails first thing in the morning.

Mrs BamaVol brought home a half gallon of unsweetened Silk vanilla flavored almond milk and I did not care for it one bit. Its sole purpose is in iced coffee which I prefer without the vanilla flavoring. My fault: I specified unsweetened and almond and this met both criteria.
