Need carb counts for fast food

[dawnpacz]

We are going away this weekend to the beach, and there are board walk stands and Mcdonalds type places there. We only have a small refridgerator in the hotel room. Was wondering what people eat when they go on vacation.

Thanks,

Re: Need carb counts for fast food

first you can go to McDOnalds and every other fast food company's website and see what the nutrtional values and ingredients are for everything they serve. Pack a cooler and hit the store for food you can chill on ice take canned goods or pouches of tuna chicken or fish and some packets of mayo.
use the coffee maker to cook or get a porible grill and BBQ dinner
use your imagination and you can stay on Atkins.

Brook had a post up about traveling with 3 kids in her truck using a plug in the ciggy lighter cooler which might still be here. I think she cooked hard boiled eggs it the produce stands filled the cooler with cut up stuff and munched her way cross country with them losing fat every mile.

This is a great link for McDonalds. You can customize and see exactly what the counts are for a burger after you take off the bun, ketchup etc.
