Cross-country road trips now have the sandwich fixings stored in a cooler in the car. Pre-make the next day’s sandwich the night before and toss it in the cooler.
Honestly it’s much nicer sitting at a picnic table at a rest area, which generally has nice views, than going into a restaurant or eating drive-thru in the car.
At least the pandemic had some silver linings, would not have necessarily thought to do this otherwise.
Pack a cooler with sandwiches, take bags of trail mix and other healthy snacks, and drink water from refillable bottles.
Fuck the leeches. Live healthier, cheaper, more satisfied lives by cutting out the “convenient” fast food that costs too much, fails on nutrition, and makes you feel bloated and gassy. Prep doesn’t take any longer than stopping along the road to order and get your food, and you can still stop at rest areas for a picnic in an actually enjoyable environment if you want.
Been traveling on the road for about a year. Life got better when I started prepping my meals and stopped eating garbage.
Or maybe get creative with your meals because, as someone who grew up with endless long road trips, what you just described are some of the most depressing meals you can get and after a couple days most people will be so sick of cold, sad, sandwiches that they’ll be desperate for ANYTHING else.
Due to this fuckery, my family will literally never by fast food again unless we are traveling.

How is trail mix a healthy snack? It’s just some bread-adjacent carbs with extra flavorings. It’s literally the same as any other junk food
Nuts are bread-adjacent? What kind of trail mix are you eating?
New “Croutons N Raisins” brand trail mix.
Trail mix is filled with little pretzels/pita chips when I’ve had it
Trail mix is usually nuts, some dried fruit like raisins or banana chips, and chocolate chips/m&ms or yogurt bites.
When I had it it was a carb bomb like this:
Just eat a package of nuts, it will be better for you
