I'm on phase 2 BTW. I brought a little cooler with all my food, I made sure not to bring more than needed so I didn't gorge! I put my PB, jelly, and smart balance in little glad ware containers, I froze my meat in individual bags, so they thawed and stayed cold in the cooler for the ride.
Breakfasts...whole wheat toast with peanut butter and SF jelly, scrambled eggs and bacon (only 1x), I also brought some Carnation low sugar instant breakfast, but I don't think I used it!
Lunch...seafood salad on WW tortilla, chicken salad on WW tortilla, soup w/WW crackers (it was really cold so I made a run to the store for soup, I was surprised how unhealthy and high in carbs and sugars canned soups are! I found a cream of broccoli in the deli section that was reasonable), grilled cheese made with WW bread, LF American and Smart balance (yummy)
Dinner...I brought chicken breasts, steak, precut veggies, I added a little salsa monteray jack cheese on my broccoli one night (very good), spaghetti squash, cole slaw, cucumbers, tomatoes. I just had meat and veggies for dinner, but the combos were very satisfying. It may seem boring but I made sure to have good seasonings for the meat and grilled them so the meals were actually very satisfying! Like I said, everyone else was eating burgers and hotdogs but I had really good food!
Snacks...pistachios, SF jello, yogurt, cheese. The pistachios were perfect for the campfire, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Oh yeah the best snack was wine
I enjoyed a glass (or maybe two
) every night!
The key for me was planning. If I didn't bring my own food I would have, obviously, had fewer healthy choices. Plus, I hate grocery shopping while were away, so the less we have to buy there the better.
Good luck to everone on their vacations!
