LA Weight Loss - Camping Vacation - Menu help

We are leaving next weekend to spend 10 days in the Rocky Mountains on a family camping trip. I am very excited about going but really nervous about finding things to eat while there. Does anyone have any good ideas for portable meals that will travel well? Also, for any recipes I can cook while at the campsite that will allow me to stay on program?
My kids are perfectly fine with picnics and sandwiches but I am on the Gold plan and only have 2 starches for the whole day!!

Any helpful advice?? Thanks,Kim

Some ideas...

1-Take some fruit canned in splenda if fresh is too hard.
2. Take peanut butter (so portable) to spread on apples.
3. Bars are very convenient(are they on gold?)...lots of bottled water, too.
4.Maybe do open faced sandwiches?
5.You could also try to make veggie soup with low sodium v8, onions, green beans, carrots, and some veggies from the plan. It would be warm and could be heated in a pot over campfire. You could make up a pot before you leave and just break out what you need. It would probably be the easiest way to eat veggies where you will be.

I just went on a 10 day trip and my weight did not go up, but did not go down. I think the stress of being out of your home may cause you to hold on to weight. Don't worry...just plan on maybe doing takeoff when you get back and try to hold steady while you are there. Have fun!

What about kabobs over the campfire - meat with lots of vegies - charred over an open flame - sounds yummy for dinners!

Your kids would LOVE making their own kabobs. I might stay away from chicken, though...it's SO germy and you wouldn't have access to lots of soap and water. Sirloin tip kabobs...yummmy! You could buy smores flavored luna bars for you while your kids make real smores...

Just a few suggestions:
1. Cook some meat before you leave, freeze the cooked meat, then pack it frozen into a cooler. This way, it will keep a little longer and since it is already cooked you don't have to worry as much about germs, etc.
2. Cheese keeps well, and is a reasonable way to get in your dairy portion.
3. I was camping recently (only for a couple days) and I found that the peanut butter and jelly carb cravers option was pretty convenient!
4. If you eat tofu at all, you can buy packaged tofu that doesn't have to be refrigerated--brush it with seasoning and grill it (in a fine mesh grilling basket, or it will fall apart) and it tastes pretty good. You can grill some vegetables to go with it, as well.

Good luck!
