You'd be surprised how difficult it is to get a quick and easy lunch that is safe to eat and doesn't cost a bucketload.  Restaurants can always be found but grabbing lunch on the move is not easy when you don't know the area/country.

Hm.  Well, perhaps you are best off carrying your food with you and only eating at restaurants once or twice a day, a planned meal, and someplace you can take some time deciding upon, since you won't be dying of hunger because you've been able to snack beforehand.  

In every large city I've been in, there have been street markets and grocery stores - even in Eastern Europe - where you can easily get fresh fruit & veggies.  If these exist in Chicago, Paris and Moscow, I'm incredulous that they don't in Prague, etc.  

Things like fruits, nuts, power bars, vitamins, are small and can easily be carried with you.  Since you don't eat dairy or bread, I don't know what you normally eat to feel full, but if possible, bring something like that along with you.  Maybe Also try to concentrate on breakfast, which will keep you full and energized through the day, and dinner, which you probably want to sit down and enjoy, and not worry about "getting lunch on the go."  Just carry snacks with you.  And something for your stomach should you get an unfortunate surprise.  

I don't think German and Czech cuisine are radically different from each other, or even radically different that the cuisine of other parts of central Europe, comparatively speaking.  Pretty meat n' vegetables heavy.  Though, again, the cities probably offer everything from sushi to felafel.

You'll be ok, I think.
