Doing about 6 hours before the first day’s stop, 7-9 the next, then hopping between a couple cities for a week (but stable enough to buy groceries) before heading back on the same schedule.
I’m finally under 150lb on a regular basis and aiming to lose more, so I’m just trying not to undo the hard work with this trip. I also don’t want to simply find the best fast food option or the lowest calorie processed snacks at the gas station, since my focus every week is also on balanced nutrition and getting a good mix of vitamins and minerals. No need to come home feeling sluggish and/or achy. I don’t want that even if it’s paired with weight loss!
Pretzels & dove chocolates – about 200 calories for 30g pretzels and two dark chocolate + caramel squares
Mini peppers, cucumber, banana
Kodiak chocolate chip protein waffles – 230 calories, 12g protein for 2
String cheese, turkey pepperoni, olives – 138 calories, 13g of protein
The back left corner is a protein matcha that I make every morning – 60g of the Owyn, some sweetener, fill the rest with cold water. Powder mix is one tsp matcha, one tsp spirulina, 10g of Four Sigmatic plant-based protein powder in Vanilla, and a bit of cayenne pepper. I keep all my protein plant based for this because whey is rough on my stomach or, at best, makes me bloat.

Oh snap, I forgot to make boiled eggs! Adding those to the list. Also forgot to put the stats for the matcha protein – it comes out to 111 calories, 12g protein.
This is awesome! Way to plan ahead and be smart about the realities of travel food options.
Very smart!
You could also bring some apples and oranges and bananas as options that travel well
Any road trip i find a grocery store as a stop instead of fast food , like a bagged salad kit with a can of chickpeas and some baby carrots is maybe $5 and a lot more filling too
