What phase are you in? Induction or OWL (if OWL, what rung?)

You are taking a cooler I presume?
I used to take egg salad in tupperware containers, or tuna salad. (Used to bring a loaf of bread too, but, well, leave that at home! LOL)
You can take baggies of cut up veggies, sliced pepperoni and cheese. Pickles. Hard boiled eggs.....
I am getting hungry again!!

guacamole with jicama slices
cheese
cream cheese stuffed in a red bell pepper
smoked salmon dip
fennel sliced thin and dressed with olive oil lemon juice salt fresh cracked pepper and some parm
sardines if you like them are great on lettuce roll ups with lemon or lime juice and a dab of sour cream
surf the cooking chat and see what you like there ... you will be fine you know

You'll probably be making sandwiches for the rest of the family...make some for yourself too. For yours, get a head of loose leaf lettuce, spread mayo, mustard right on the lettuce leaves, put cheese, turkey, ham, ham salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, roast beef, salami, capicola, sliced pork...whatever...and tomato...salt and pepper and fold it up or roll it up and eat. I swear I like it better than with bread--you get all the flavors of the fillings. I eat this often from the deli-bar where I work.

Re: What to take to the beach?

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I went to Restaurants.com and found dining certificates for an awesome crab leg place, as well as a family buffett, so I've got those 2 dinners down

I've c&p parts of this thread and will be printing it out tonight!

Re: What to take to the beach?

lettuce wraps are wonderful and if you live near a Trader Joes you can buy them prewashed and separated ready to go for only $2 a bag all perfect no waste!

Re: What to take to the beach?

I wish I had a Trader Joe's near me. I found one last week in Boston, and they had the best almonds I have had in a while. Back on topic, I have always been a fan of bringing nuts (if you are in E.I. or beyond), summer sausage - keeps forever and doesn't need to be refrigerated until opened, and good cheese from a cheese store. Veggies with guacomole dip is also a good suggestion. I bring lots of water of with me, but in the end, I found out that I snack less than I used to and play more.

Re: What to take to the beach?

Into a cooler:

Ice or bottles of frozen water
boiled eggs
veggies*
fruit--if they are allowed for your phase of Atkins
Atkins Revolution Rolls (can be found here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=6807)
Sliced meat
nuts--if they are allowed for your phase of Atkins
cheese

Note about veggies and fruits. If your trip is a day trip (leave home in AM, return to home in PM), then sliced veg or fruit is okay. If your trip is over a course of days, leave the veggies and fruit whole, cutting them when you need them. They will last longer if they are uncut/sliced.

Into a canvas bag or non-insulated bag:
Eating and drinking utensils
Can opener (might need it might not)
Napkins
Sanitary wipes
Small cutting board and knife
large bottle of water
tea bags
sweetener
