We are planning a trip to Indiana later this week, and while I'm excited to see some family and friends that I haven't seen in about 3 years, I'm also a little nervous about the eating part of the whole thing.
I know that I can make "decent" choices while we travel up and back...it's just a matter of finding the right symbols on the exit signs. :)
The problem comes when we arrive at our destination. We're going to a church camp, which means eating in a cafeteria, which boils down to CARB CITY! :) You know, mashed potatoes, noodles, dumplings, biscuits & gravy, fried this and fried that! Not to mention the snack shop that is filled with ice cream bars, candy, nachos, and the like!
I will not have access to a refrigerator, but we will have a small cooler with us. I need your suggestions on how to stay on track while I'm there. Remember that I'm needing to keep my carb intake to a minimum (60 grams or less), and I won't be able to take things that need to be frozen or kept really cold.
I can't wait to hear your suggestions!
Ok. Round 2. I bought some snacks called "the Good bean" from Fresh Market for our trip. They are crunchy chick peas that come in various flavors. I got sea salt and barbeque. Sea Salt favorite right now. Very healthy. Pkg says 18g Carbs but most of that is from Fiber. www.thegoodbean.com
ReplyDeleteI also took cashews. Don't have container so not sure how many carbs but you could get different nuts.
I also took liveGfree Gluten Free brownie mix from Aldi's. My family says they are the best brownies ever. 27g of Carbs, 19 g of that is from sugar. You could have the serving for a treat and make them before you go.
