High protein, no/low carb snacks that do not need refrigeration

[Anonymous]

If you are in a hotel room you may have a fridge and microwave. I usually get groceries and you can heat up pre cooked chicken breast, prepared hard boiled eggs, or veggie soups.

I am going to try and stick with eggs for breakfast (assuming there is something other than pastries), salads (no cheese, hopefully some protein) for lunch, and whatever is something healthy on the menu for dinner. I will have no control over any of the meals, but figure there will always be a salad option, and if I can have some high protein snacks, it should help me through the week.

Thanks for the update. So it’s more about having food for when you had to choose a skimpy meal to stay healthy. Pouches of tuna (I would pack a fork). Nuts divide up in serving sizes (since you said this is for weight control). Same for peanut butter.

But most hotels have fridges in them. For similar work travel I pack cheese sticks and deli meat with an ice pack in a collapsible cooler in my suitcase. They do well with just an ice pack for travel.

If breakfast is limited/mainly cold, look for peanut butter near the bread and bagels. There is often some. If you are ok with some carbs, just slather a bunch on a half piece of toast. Eggs are better, but this is better than just eating carbs.

NP. Based on recommendations here, I bought some of the Adkins shakes. Since then I’ve had the worst abdominal cramping, pain and diarrhea. Triggered my IBS and spent over one hour on the bathroom floor yesterday. Be forewarned.

It sounds like you’re at a conference? Will you even have time for snacks?

Ooh, I was picturing hiking for days or driving through the middle of nowhere. For something like a conference....the food I keep in my desk at work would be similar - nuts, those little oranges, tea, bars, cartons of soup, soy jerky. I find at conferences there's usually a fruit bowl or something available throughout the day - not low carb high protein but healthy and easy if you need a little energy.

Beans, nuts, seeds,
You can find dried cooked beans as snacks.
BUT, I will say all those i listed above are tough on your teeth.
