Road Trip: Low carb, high protein, low fat snacks?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have suggestions for Snacks to take on a road trip (about 10 hours) that are low carb, high Protein, and low fat? I was thinking almonds, but I doubt I could control myself that well (love them :)) and probably will not take these and they are high in fat.

If you're keeping a cooler in the car, string cheese is good. And jerky....which is one of our favorite road trip Snacks.< /p>

Deli meats travel well in a cooler. I too like Jerky and string cheese.< /p>

On road trips, I take a little cooler with Protein Shakes and fat free cheese. I'm not much of a snacker, so road trips are a challenge for me. I mostly do shakes to keep my energy up for driving. We often make a 10-hour drive to our home state, and my 21-year-old son is really good at watching over me and reminding me to eat when I need to. (Whose the parent?) :rolleyes:

I travel a lot for work so I carry a cooler every day. I bring Mix1 chocolate Protein Shakes (90 calories, 9 grams protein), Isopure Zero Carb shakes (60 calories, 15 grams of protein),Greek Yogurt, lowfat string cheese or lowfat sharp cheddar sticks from Sargento Cheese, Doctor Kracker Crisp Breads/ Crackers (100 calories, 5 grams of protein) and even hard cooked eggs.< /p>

Have a good trip!

Low fat cheese sticks and Jerky are great road trip foods. You can buy these at most convenience stores, along with those precooked hard boiled eggs. If you area eating out, look for the healthy options. Chickfila has a grilled nugget kids meal that is perfect for banders.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
