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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
