Eating while at an Amusement park

dee1978

We are headed for vacation which is 3 days at an amusement park. We will be doing lots of walking and swimming. What are the best foods to bring with me, not only to keep my calories down, but keep my energy level up???

So far, I have lots of fruit (grapes, watermelon, banana's) and veggies (carrots, celery sticks).

Thanks!

You can dip your veggies in hummus and cottage cheese for some protein.

I'd bring some nuts too, or a homemade granola or trail mix.

Beef jerky is really high in protein and low in carbs and is light weight but filling. It also keeps well in the heat.

Add some healthy carbs like whole grain crackers, Cheerios ( I love the chocolate as a treat or component of trail mix).

when i was younger & we went 2 the amusement park my mom would pack a cooler full of foods. so that when it was lunch time we'd walk back 2 the car & had a car-nic (car picnic). it was awesome. most parks will stamp ur hands when u leave so that u can get back in w/o payin the fee again. it's a standard practice at the one near me.

also drink plenty of water & put dry food snacks in ur bag. that'll help a lot. but i really enjoyed our car picnics. that way we weren't stuck on the foods that the park offered.
