leahcarn Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 At the end of next month I am heading off to a 4 day bike rally with hubby and FIL. The food situation: no microwave, no fridge, limited gear space. We could take a 1 burner camp stove and a 5L cooler bag, that's about it. Available food will be food trucks (pies, chips, bacon butties), and a pub down the road that does meals. I'm hoping to pack template breakfasts and lunches at least, and get on the pubs good side for dinners. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb. Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Have a look at these threads for tons of good info, pretty much covers it. http://whole30.com/2011/07/whats-in-your-cooler/ http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/20655-surviving-a-7-day-river-trip-what-to-pack/?hl=river http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/21864-whole30-backpacking-trip/?hl=river#entry231264 http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/19487-camping-whole30-style/?hl=camping http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/18299-camping-food/?hl=camping http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/911-camping-food-ideas/ http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/2796-camping-mealssnacks/ http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/473-camping-trip/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Give the pub a call now and explain the situation and see what they can do. It may mean you ends up with a garden salad with grilled chicken every night for 4 days, but that's no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Deb I had a look at those threads, basically I need to eat lots of tinned protein, and hurry into my nut reintroductions? I'm low FODMAP and can't stand olives, so it makes life more interesting. I need template meals that don't require refrigeration and don't take up much space, basically. GoJo I had a look at the pub meals online, they list a salad and a vege side in their 'sides' menu, which is usually a good sign, and they have a full page in their menu for each protein. If I was just eating there I would have no fear, but I can't afford that. I'm most worried about after the first couple of days, when the cooler bag won't be cold any more, and food could start going off. I don't have space for ice, and will take compliant soup as a chilly pad to keep other things cold. Keep the ideas coming, if nothing else they are helping me brainstorm. I don't want to get into a snacking habit, but with a lot of the suggestions here, I think that's what I will end up doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
