Low Carb Diva

When I've traveled by automobile, I buy low-carb hamburger buns, cook the burgers & melt cheese on the buns, cut them in half, wrap them in aluminum foil & put them in a cooler. When I stop to eat them, they're cold, but they still taste great & give me the energy that I need to continue driving. I make enough so if my trip takes 2 days, they still stay fresh in the cooler. I may eat half at a time because I make large burgers. I've also made tuna salad & egg salad, but I will eat these items first as a breakfast & lunch meal & the burger is left for dinner.

I also cut up celery, green & red peppers, and grape or cherry tomatoes. I put them in a gallon size food storage bag & snack on them while driving.

I cut strawberries into slivers, add blueberries & eat them in a paper bowl as a pick-me-up snack or as a dessert after a meal.

Lastly, as a snack I'll bring along various types of nuts for instant energy while driving.

As far as liquids go, I have another cooler that I put water, diet iced tea & diet soda in.

This way when I stop, it's to fill up my gas tank, hit the rest room and walk around to stretch my legs. I never have to spend any additional money on food at the rest stops & don't get tempted to purchase something that I KNOW I shouldn't be eating. Hope this info helps!!!

Thanks for the tips!
