    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.

      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
