Good food while on the run

[BellaBean 0]

I have a road trip coming up in a few months. This will be a big 4 day drive there and 4 days back. I will pack my own healthy foods and we will try to stop at good restaurants so I can order healthy. I just know at one time or another we will have to stop and get fast food or gas station Snacks. My question to you is what are some healthier and reasonably bandster friendly food I can order?

I know some people can and cannot handle breads and so on but I just want to know what you all think are healthier choices.

A lot of grocery stores have build your own salad bars, that is what I did went I went to Atlanta, GA. it helped greatly when I was looking for a good healthy salad with protien.

I guess I would pack a crap load of Protein bars, nuts (I love almonds) I would bring trail mix - make your own or buy it, I would grab beef Jerky if it was available and if I chewed it really well (usually at short stops and such) at fast food I would get a salad and a burger? take off the bun if you can't tolerate bread (I can't) skip the fries. And some filling Soup of if available?

Boy I am trying to think of anything else and feeling like a dork, I am sure there will be plenty of others with great advice for you!

Good luck to you!

You can pre-make wraps. That's what I have been doing on days that I have class. And you can be really creative and put whatever you want on it!

My favorite is a mexi-wrap:

whole wheat tortilla

LF CReam cheese (replaces mayo!!)

Salsa

chicken

lettuce

and sprinld some mexican cheese

Two of my favorite fast food options:

Wendy's Chili

Taco Bell Refried Beans

I am always in business with those...

Khashi makes a good high fiber/high Protein Bar. They're very filling, and 1/2 a bar is plenty.

I buy individually packaged prunes to have on hand when I'm traveling.

I have to get my Fiber in every day, so I carry my 1/2 cup of 100% bran Cereal with me when I don't have time to eat it before I leave the house in the morning.

That just sounds good to eat anytime. I dont think I can take that on the road though sadly. I am so picky that I wont let food like that sit in my car for hours. I know how does my husband deal with such a picky person?

All the ideas are great!

dry roasted edamame and beef Jerky are always in my car.

Pack a cooler with ice packs and then you can bring anything you want.
