Help/advice please! Keto whilst away

samalot

I'm going to a festival this weekend. I started keto last thurs and feel amazing, 8lb down. I always suffered with bloating after meals and don't want to come off of keto whilst im away. Im struggling to think what i could take with me, so far ive come up with -
Tinned fish, tuna, salmon etc
Butter and uht cream for a bullet coffee
Only drinking the alcohols allowed, vodka etc

Any other suggestions would be great
Thanks

what kind of cooking ability will you have? What kind of refrigeration will you have access to? Are you staying in a hotel, or camping, or staying with people? This information will make advice a lot easier to dispense

Take some nuts. Take some dried beef etc. for snacks. Have fun.

Sorry i should have given more detail! Lol. Basic camping whist we are there. No fridge (going to dig a whole and place a bag with my butter and coconut oil in). Fairly good cooking ability, we have a small gas powered stove.

Nuts, low carb beef jerky, canned fish is a great option, if you bring a well-iced cooler and leave it in the shade you can pack cheese sticks, pepperoni sticks, heavy cream, etc. Eggs are a great option for scrambling; however, the mess afterward at a campsite is no fun!

Brilliant! Seeming a lot more possible already, thank you!

Pre cook a bunch of bacon. If you have a cooler, it should be fine in there once cooked.
Sounds like beef jerky and nuts are going to be staples for you.
Maybe natural peanut butter and celery? If you're going to be extra active, the extra carbs from all the nuts and peanut butter shouldn't be much problem for you.
Same with allowing more berries and maybe even sone small tart apples. Eat the skin for the fiber to offset the carbs.
If you're not going to be very active, maybe go heavier on the dried meats.

Boil some eggs (or buy them in the deli section preboiled) and they hold up really well in a ziploc in a cooler and are awesome. If you go out to eat before you go at a fast food place ask for a couple extra real mayo and salad dressing packets. I love having them because I know I can get extra fat that in but also I don't have to guess the amount of carbs in the ones out. It's right on the packet.

Also pre cooked bacon. I eat it all the time it comes non refrigerated. Just out in a ziploc and get a few slices out when needed. Perfect and a lot cheaper than most dry meats.

Cheese sticks, pork rinds, any kind of nuts or seeds or a jar of any kind of nut or seed butter, pepperoni or salami (many of which keep well even unrefrigerated because of the sheer amount of seasonings they are made with.

The whole original purpose of pepperoni & salamis was to keep meat w/o refrigeration. I love me cheese. Warm cheese tastes better anyhow. Boiled eggs are great too. Do up a bunch and keep them in the shells for better storage until it's time to eat them. And no, I've never had food poisoning, lol.

Bring some pickles and olives to keep those electrolytes up!

You can make omelettes in a bag using a pot of boiling water - so much easier to clean at a campsite and a lot of people can cook at once...just dump your eggs and omelette topping into a quart freezer bag (not a storage bag, you need the thicker freezer ones), squeeze to mix, then drape it over the pot with the egg part in the water and the zipper end on the outside of the pot...2 min later it's ready for a plate...and eggs don't require refrigeration...
