In a few day I'm going on a road trip with some friends for about a week. I won't be able to really exercise and I'm not sure what to bring, we're most likely going to be eating out a lot, and my friends bring tons of junk food. What are some foods that don't need to be refrigerated that I can make and eat instead? Thanks :)

    Fruit and veg tend to be fine at those temperatures. I like dried fruit as well, and nuts.

    Why won't you be able to exercise? A person can exercise anywhere. You can do squats, burpees, lunges, mountain climbers, jump squats, jumping jacks, oh jeepers, I can go on and on. As for foods, it will be a little tough, try and get a little fabric cooler bag and throw in a ice pack. That way you can bring cheese strings, cut up veggies, smaller fruits, small snack size greek yogurt (for your protein which will help you stay full), etc. Good luck and have fun on your road trip! :)

    In addition to what's already been said, canned tuna and/or chicken.

    Really - anything that's fairly small and doesn't need to be cooled (and preferably OK eaten cold/room temperature) should be fine.

    If you take a small cooler my tip is to freeze fruit. It can be a refreshing snack and also serves as ice to chill other foods. As you stop at gas stations you can usually get ice from the soda machine for free just ask first and make sure you have zip lock bags to put it in so you don't get charged for a cup each time. Or you can freeze bottles of water, as it melts you have a cold drink.
