Bring a big cooler! Cut up carrots, celery, other veggies and they'll stay for a few days on ice. Fruit that doesn't need to be refrigerated like apples or oranges, or in single serving packs in light syrup. I'm with Tiki on the tuna! You can make passable oatmeal with quick-cooking oats (not the sugary single-serving packets, but the 1-3 minute stuff) and hot water, which many hotel lobbies will have. Run plain water through a coffeemaker if you've got one in your hotel room to make it hot. Even if you don't have a microwave in your room I'll bet your hotel employees have one in their break room. Maybe if you ask very, very nicely they'll heat up a thing or two for you. I also pop lowfat microwave popcorn ahead of time and seal it in plastic bags on my business trips to eat when my co-workers are hitting the chips, and bring single-serving peanut butter crackers and protein/granola bars.
Wendy's has some light salad dressings and grilled chicken salads, as does Subway, and I think McDonald's now has some light dressings too. Nutrition info is posted on their websites. You still have to deal with some preservatives but it's better than a bunch of fries. Many chains have nutrition info on their websites now, so you could find something ok to eat ahead of time. Could you call the hotel and ask what grocery stores and restaurants are nearby?
Good luck!
