Travelling food?

[big_bad_john]

When I travel before I went Atkins I used to take oatmeal flapjacks with me because they

a) filled me
b) didn't take much space
c) and most importantly wouldn't go off for a couple of weeks or so.

Does anyone know any carb friendly snacks I can prepare that won't go off in my hand luggage for a week or two??

I made a mess of cheese crisps when I went to my corporate meeting. Take Deluxe American Deli cheese slices - cut into 16ths - place on parchment paper - pop into the microwave for about 15 seconds. I put them into a Ziploc baggie and had snacks! 16 crackers equals one serving. I got this from Linda's Low Carb cooking site. Let me know if you need the web address.


Good luck!

Wow, 2 weeks. OK, are you traveling with a cooler? Or are you going to be staying somewhere with a refrigerator? There are a lot of things that I have traveled with well, as long as I had some sort of refrigeration. What conditions are you talking about??

Travelling every day, different hotel every couple of nights or so. Travelling light, just hand luggage mainly.

I just did some checking and I think low carb peanut butter cookies and low carb macaroons will do the job nicely along with sesame seed crunchies

Pepperoni sticks or beef jerky would be good without refrigeration.
Flax crackers are also a good option. That's a tough one if you wont have a fridge..though i think most hotels do nowadays. I would buy a small insulated lunch bag and one of those refreezable cold packs and refreeze it every time you get the chance when the room has a fridge. Cheesesticks will hold up fairly well being at room temperature for a few hours if the cold pack defrosts.

Not sure what stage you are at but if you are not at the nut rung you can't have either the p butter or the coconut in teh macaroons (no idea about sesame seeds)

If you ARE at the nut rung...then bring nuts! they're the perfect snack that don't need refridgerations (watch your portions though)
