Hi Dominic! Congratulations on your determination to stick to the diet. I
do a lot of driving, too, and I know you can't always find something high
protein and low carb on the road. Salads from Wendy's or Burger King are
always an option, but it takes me an hour or more to finish one, and if
you're moving, who wants to pull over for that long? My two favorite
travelling foods are pork jerky and Glenny's Slim-carb bars. I get Jack
Link's Barbecue Pork Tender Cuts from WalMart. A 3 oz bag is 210
calories, 24g of protein. It's kind of high in sugar, 21g for the whole
bag, but so far it hasn't made me dump. Once you rip open the bag, you
have nice finger sized pieces, so you aren't wrestling with food while
you're trying to drive. If you chew them thoroughly, they'll last for
quite a while. For some reason, I can't eat any of the other products,
beef jerky or steak nuggets make me throw up, but the pork is just fine.
My other travelling staple is the Glenny's Brownie Cheesecake Big Crunch
bar (order online). 140 calories, 12g protein, only one gram of sugar.
Nice and sweet! I take tiny nibbles, and it's good for at least 40 miles
on the Thruway. Good luck, and travel safely!

Cheese curds, string cheese, beef jerky, Deli Selects (prepackaged lunch
meats), small yogurt containers. cottage cheese, to name a few. Some of
these require a cooler of course. The smallest Glad Ware containers are
exactly 1/2 cup and are perfect for taking your meal in that you could make
at home first. The 3 oz cans of tuna or canned meats are a real good size
for a PO. you can buy small cans of fruit also to take with. Chris

I make Cheese Cakes for everyday but their great for on the road!
Take two pieces of the individual slice cheese, any flavor or mix them .
Place them in a plastic bowl diagnally, like an empty cool whip bowl.
Then in the center of your microwave at 1 minute 40 secinds on mine. When
you take it out let it cool a few minutes. Then just pop it out.
It's sorta like a rice cake but just Cheese puffed up. Cut in halfs placed
in baggies for traveling.

When I travel or even if I need a snack in the morning or afternoon, I
utilize string cheese, roasted nuts in baggies that I have measured at
home, I also keep extra protein powder in my car and at the office so that
I can mix a quick shake if I need a complete meal substitute. Peanut
Butter and a cut up apple is a good snack too. Most importantly, measure
out your snacks. Good luck.
