Hey everyone! I am going away for a weekend and want to bring snacks along with me to eat to stay on track. I eat 5 smaller meals right now. I don't believe I will access to a fridge. I was thinking protein powder, bars, almonds. Just looking for some more ideas! Thanks for your suggestions!

    I like popcorn. You can flavor it with all kinds of things for variety. One of my favorites is homemade ranch dressing powder (also good on unsalted pretzels, just spray lightly with Pam, sprinkle the powder and toss to coat), or just some paprika.

    I also like fruits, and veggies with hummus. Make sure you portion them out rather than just munching from a big bag. It makes it easier to log what you've actually eaten vs guesstimating.

    Also Jerky is a good option if you want something with protein. Look for varieties that are lower in sodium.

    I bought some Luna bars for a 5 hour flight. They are THE most disgusting things I think, but are high in protein and only 170 calories, and with a bottle of water just one kept me from feeling hungry.

    all you need when you go away is wine and chocolate.

    I think most protein bars are foul and disgusting. Plus a lot of them aren't nearly as healthy as they want you to believe... look at the fat, sodium and sugar content on them... YIKES! You'd be better off with some dried fruit, nuts, or cheese.

    that sounds awesome but I am going to a casino for a weekend to celebrate a birthday and I am trying to stay on track as much as possible and small healthy snacks throughout the day will def help!

    Perhaps, but the bars are just easier and smaller. Plus after 7 days of vacation I was not about to go try to find nuts, cheese etc to travel home. I don't eat them often, I consider them subsistence food, survival food. I keep one in my purse for emergencies.
