Remote meals... Meals away from home???

[Mesa_John]

Tomorrow evening and Thursday evening will find me behind the scorer's table, running the scoreboard for our High School basketball games.  In the past, I would just eat a nasty hot dog or nachos, but not anymore.....  This happens regularly with me and the wife, where school things keep us from coming home until 7-9pm.

We've got to figure out some remote meals that aren't junk eating, even if non-carb.

Tomorrow evening, we will have the wife pick up a pound of smoked brisket from the BBQ joint, but I won't pay $35 a lb for meat every time.

Gotta figure out some solutions.

Suppose the smart thing to do is Pre-prepare meals and freeze them, take them to work and reheat in a microwave.

??????????

Yeah that’s the thing, you gotta plan ahead. When I’m traveling I don’t take a meal per se but just foods that I can eat in the go. Hard boiled eggs, lunchmeat if I can find any that’s fairly clean, cheese although I’m abstaining right now. If I plan far enough ahead I’ll make some biltong. I won’t eat store bought jerky because it has soy and usually sugar in it. Even some cooked up burger patties work in a pinch. Pork rinds that are clean and fried in lard are a good snack to take along.
If I’m going somewhere that I can’t just take my own food but there’s not going to be anything I can eat then I’ll just eat well before I go and I’ll be just fine. If need be I can always fast.
You are only limited by your imagination.

Yeah this is quite the challenge. Beef jerky, dried sausage, a keto-bar, in real emergencies. 

Boiled eggs, burger paddies when you have a fridge available.

I fix burgers and put them in a sandwich bag for trips and outings. Burgers seem to work best for me. 

Last year we went to West Virginia to ride side by sides. The night before I cooked a weekends worth of country style pork ribs and chuck steaks. Cuts of meat that can be eaten without forks and knives. 

I got quite the laughs when I am standing on the side of the path with a hunk of steak or pork or burger for a snack.

And... guess what I will be eating tonight!   hahahhahaha   Yep, hotdogs.

I referred to our school concession stand hot dogs as nasty.... because they are.  They are cheap with fillers and corn syrup, etc...  4 grams of carb per wiener.

But dangit... I grilled chicken breasts last night to take with us today for our dinner... and I forgot them at the house this morning.  So I go down to our dinky, little store in our little town and there weren't many choices.  I ended up buying a package of Nathan's Hot Dogs.  They were the best I could find, 100% Beef, no fillers......

I hear nathans are top rated for taste, I haven't had one or ten.

Only nasty in that they are seldom pure meat but filled with all kinds of things that we carnivores don’t want to eat. Sugar, grains, soy, fillers, seed oils but it’s still better than eating a bag of cookies in a pinch.
