    Fantastic tips!! Thank you so much! I feel a little more confident now that I can make our camping experience this year a bit healthier. I'm going to make a lot of my own stuff for sure this time instead of buying it and I'm really excited to try some of your suggestions :):)

    I use the great value (walmart brand) frozen ground beef patties 85/15. They're good, quick and easy, and they aren't horrible calorie wise.

    i was curious about the nutritional information on these so i looked it up. 240 calories for one burger not bad but 17 grams of fat thats a lot to me.

    the extra lean 96/4 ground beef is 140 calories and 4.5 grams of fat. i could make myself a double burger and it would only cost me an additional 40 calories but i would still be WAY under the fat grams in the 85 lean.

    We just had our first camping trip of the season...it's hard to stay away from the snacky foods...if it was just me and my husband camping it would be easy, but with kids, junk food is always around...so will power it has to be(

    The biggest hurdle I have are the 'side dishes", we aren't really roughing it either, but the fridges are only so big and it's hard to pack a garden of veggies. If anyone has any great and easy side dish recipes, please post!

    As far as I am concerned, grilled meat is always a healthy option

    When we are camping I do so much hiking and biking that I"m ok with a few snacks, I always find it hard to get enough veggies in though. Side dishes tend to lean towards deli salads. I try to make my own versions of them and make broccoli salad or quinoa salad loaded with veggies as side dishes with non mayo dressings.
