Need suggestions for the weekend... Please help!!


Quote  |  Reply

Okay, so I am going on a camping/float trip this weekend.  I need some help figuring out what kinds of snack foods to take with me on the river.  I usually buy lots of chips and crackers and things like that, but really want to try to be healthier this time and not wreck all the progress I've made.  Any suggestions would be super appreciated!

There are a lot of those 100 calorie packs out there from chocolate to ritz mixes, I'd go for some of those.  Also, taking something like jello might help as well.  As far as eating meals, I'd opt for taking something like low calorie bread, lunchmeat, and perhaps a condiment that is low in cals like mustard or honey mustard.  Oh and of course lots of water :)  EDIT:  Just thought of this: Fruit.  Grapes, apples, bananas, etc.  Stuff that will keep you full and still be healthy for you :)

Nuts...Planters makes heart healthy single serve mixes that although are high in fat, are protein packed and fit in your pocket.  Also SIlk Soymilk comes in single serve boxes and doesn't need to be kept cold. 

Those are good ideas, thanks a bunch!  Fruit and nuts should keep me from eating all of the Goldfish I usually eat!

I would bring my favorite Luna bars with me or some other protein bars.  Also, if you are going to be doing some hiking, you do want to bring along something salty so that you don't get dehydrated - like pretzels or jerky.  Dried fruits sound like a good idea too.  Lots and lots of water.  Have a great time!
