Food during a trip

[IBNAV8R]

". . . and some dry white toast."

I prefer freezing the food itself. It will thaw after the first day but then I have room for the ice bag.

Peanuts. Lots and lots of peanuts.

I get fed twice....and there's Cheese and Cracker plates and Sundaes.....

Seriously, get ya some almonds, walnuts, dried blueberries throw em in a ziplock and that'll last ya until your next food break. I always got some Beef Jerky handy when in a pinch.....

Then again my BF% is only 8 so.......(what a crock....)

Get a Food saver vacuum system. You can cook whatever (chicken and rice ...etc) vac it and it will keep without refrigeration for a couple days.

2 whole fried chickens and a coke.

Some dry white toast would keep better.

Luggage works cooler.

4 day trip, I usually take
3 bags of instant oatmeal
3 Yogurts
12 slices of bread in the disposable zip lock tubs (4 slices a tub)
1 lb turkey or low sodium lunch meat
1/2lb sliced cheese
Peanut butter
Jelly
Spicy Mustard
6 zip lock bags of chips or pretzels

About 20 bucks worth of food.

Sometimes I Pack up cookies or leftover pizza I have at the house.
That is enough to get through a 4 day trip for me.

I still go out and eat if the crew is fun and my finances allow (back on 1st year pay again)

I went from 195lbs to the 140's by packing food and running. The amount of calories is an average restaurant/fast food meal is really eye opening.

That's an idea I hadn't thought of . . . I quit eating fast food almost 20 years ago . . . so I'm always looking for a way to get good, regular meals on a trip.

I usually hit one of those "Bistro Deli" places in ATL (T,B,E Concourses) and also carry fresh fruit, trail mix, and soups and shakes that don't need refrigeration. Plus single-malt Scotch and cigars for layovers. :beer:

PS., Tunafish reeks in the cockpit! :laugh:

That's all you eat for 4 days?!? That meal plan looks like the starvation plan

2 whole fried chickens and a coke.

" two honkies came in here dressed like Hasidic diamond merchants...they look like they from the CIA or something"

" what they want to eat? "

"The tall one wants white bread toasted dry with nothin on it The other one wants FOUR whole fried chickens and a coke.

" oh snap..the Blues Brothers"

............The Blues Brothers! They still owe you money fool!



Seriously, I just bought a Strong Bag. Works great... A little more room than the E bag with a tougher material...... Now I can fit all the cheez whiz I want for my trip.
