When we got to travel here, we are in the car for hours and I need to take something with me to eat and drink, but up till now I have been taking low carb bars, which got quite an amount of carbs anyway (lowest I found here was 16 gr. a bar). Too much for my comfert + they are extremely expensive.

Does any of you know a better option, preferable homemade and not too messy in the car?

    Bulletproof Coffee. I always travel with this. Works great for car and flights.

    Otherwise, almonds, dark chocolate, and pre-cooked bacon are my go-to items.

    I often fly with Blue Diamond almonds. They are available in a multipack container, so I just leave them in the plane. I especially appreciate the single serving sizes. They are mostly fiber, so their net carb value is very low. A single serving pack is 100 calories, with one net carb. I used to keep candy on board, not anymore. I typically don't fly with a lot to drink since most Cessnas and no Mooney aircraft have lavatories aboard, so it's more like a (fast) car in that regard.

    I'm particularly fond of the soy and wasabi flavor, though they offer salted, nothing added ("natural"), dark cocholate, sea salt, etc...

    I like the pre-packed cashews from Costco and peeled, boiled eggs in a ziploc. Filling and low-carb friendly!

    Ow bullet proof coffee I can give a try. I hope it works with bambu as well, because I can't have cafeine. Nuts are off my list, food intolerances and I do not well on them, but how could I have forgotten the bacon and dark chocolate!

    Assuming that bambu is decaf coffee, it should be fine. If bambu is something else, then it could be iffy.

    Bambu is an alternative coffee made from chicory, figs, wheat, malted barley, acorns, from dr. Vogel. It doesn't contain any cafeine, because I bounce in every direction except the right one when I get that stuff, panic attacks even. I tried this morning and it tasted quite well! It does contain 2 gr of carbs, but I only take one cup a day anyway.

    I was about to reply that it sounds weird - then I remembered that I drink coffee with butter in it, so who the hell am I to judge! :bigsmile:

    Lol Kiramaniac. I guess you have to get used to it. Drinking it black is so so, but with a pinch of cream in it it's like drinking coffee with cream. I used to drink a ****load of coffee before, but all of a sudden I couldn't have it no more: shaking, anxiety, panic attacks, can't sit still for a moment, heavy feeling on the chest, etc... I tried decaf, but that didn't became me too well either. Next to that to extract the cafeine from the coffee has some nasty elements, so I guess this was the best alternative.

    Are you ok with gluten (malted barley)?

    Water. I travel on the road with water and make sure I stay hydrated while I drive. I driver for 2-4 hours most days and eat before I get on the road. I'm never hungry but I do have to stop for pee breaks more often.
