Going on a 10 hour trip to Fort Bragg this weekend and need some ideas for portable, non-refrigerated meal/snack ideas.  I know the jerky thing, but that's alot of sodium and I mix my protein shakes with milk.  I'll definitely be getting some RTD shakes for the cooler.  I'll be gone for 4 days.  Thanks.

 I just did a trip for three days and brought:

-3 oz cans of flavoured tuna, easy open packs (Cloverleaf makes all kinds of flavors these days)
-an equivalent number of porions multigrain melba canape to spread it on (less cals, better ingredients than the ritz like crackers included in tuna snack packs)
-mini light babybels
-Cheese strings
-a six pack of little source yogurts, froxen (they keep things cool the first day and last to the second day as they thaw
-powdered skim milk (to mix my coffee protein in the morning with my aerolatte)
-syntrax nectar cappuchino (for protein coffee)
-syntrax nectar iced tea
-chicken jerky
-snack pack sugar free pre-made pudding
-pure protein bars in peanut butter and chcolate deluxe
-individual 1 oz portioned packages of flavoured almonds
-many crystal light (travelling tends to get me dehydrated)

If I had needed it, I could have survived just on this list within guidleines for the three days. I always knew I had a good option with me. I didn't use it all as I went to restaruants and there were other good choices available at times.

Good luck!

Could you tell us how far out you are from surgery?  My first suggestion would be small bags of mixed nuts but if you are too soon post op that might not be a good idea.

7 weeks out, so no nuts yet (have my first f/u with NUT on 7/11).
