Camping!?!
 

In about a week and a half, I'm going on a trip with a group of friends so we can basically camp. Any really good tips/ideas on how to eat well without my trusty fridge and fitday on my laptop here to help me stay on track?

I just want to make sure I have enough time to get the food that I need! :)

Thank you guys. Also, low-cal drinking tips appreciated for the trip as well!

Well I'd drink nothing but water and possibly the lighter cal gatorade.

As for food will you have a cooler? Buy ice to keep it cold? I'd just pack up as much healthy stuff that can be at room temperature, including fruits like apples, oranges, bananas, and so on :) Breads should keep for a few days also :)

there are these great tuna salad kits with small canned tuna salad and crackers, and they don't need to be refrigerated! 170 cals and like $1.50 each at the grocery store! They are my lifesaver!

Here is my typical camping food list.

Lean meat, diced. (sometimes already marinated)
My favorite veggies, diced.
My favorite seasonings

I wrap all that up (sometimes with diced potatoes) in foil and throw on the campfire on a grate. I cook it for 6ish minutes and flip it. It's scrumptious.

Hotdogs. I have to have ONE hotdog on a camping trip. I pair it with lots of raw veggies and make sure that I have a multigrain bun with me for it.

Beans. You can open a can, lay foil over it, and put it on the grate to heat the beans up. I like black beans this way. Sometimes I add seasonings.

A sweet onion-- slice it from top to midway down repeatedly, criss-crossing the slices. Put one tbsp butter (I use smart balance) in the center of the onion. Some people sprinkle it with cinnamon, I don't. Wrap in foil and throw on the fire to cook. It's a delicious alternative to that ghastly bloomin' onion!

One other thing that I indulge in during a lunch meal is that I get a tortilla and spread that pb&j in a jar on it, wrap it up and munch.

Of course, I take a big cooler and cook because I love fire cooking. I just have to have someone there who's more adept at fire building than I am!

Eumie gave some really good suggestions. Just plan out ahead of time what you can eat on the days. Coolers should work.

Sweet, thanks everyone. I will definitely be bringing food with me (we have a cooler!) and trying to eat the best I can. Plan B is to exercise to make up for whatever else I do eat/drink. lol.
