    We just had a nearly 20 hour trip. We bought sandwich meat and bread. Refused to stop at fast food places. Also got a lot of fruit to keep in the cooler and a couple gallons of water we'd keep refilling. Got the kids juice boxes.

    Sugar-free gum in a few different flavors, pack a cooler with some turkey, cheese & crackers (but not the whole box!) and some fruit. Looks like you've got the water taken care of :)

    If you don't want to pack your meals, plan on places to stop and eat. Use Google maps to find a Subway or somewhere with healthy choices along the way, log your calories ahead of time, so that you know exactly what and about when you're going to eat. Pick a place that you will be passing through right about lunch time, or whenever you think you'll be getting hungry.

    Happy trails!

    Honestly, I'd buy a decent sized lunch box (there are some that will hold about a 6pack of soda and only cost $8-$10) and make some sandwiches or wraps to stick in there for the meal. That way you've got the cooler for the beverages, and a small lunch box for any food you may want to keep cool.
