What will be healthy meals while Camping and RV'ing

[Vanbrat]

I find this very interesting, and I understand most folks don't want to change their eating habits if they have a full-on kitchen. I have a very good van kitchen. But not in bad weather.
When I am road tripping, I like to cook not just the regular stuff but sometimes, something fancy. Once crab cakes and grilled salmon and apple cobbler. Total mess, but very yummy. Other times it is sandwich and chips. I usually have a bag of salad and fruit to eat and we always start out with homemade cookies. Once we had a really good dinner just using sticks. half cooked bacon wrapped around shrimp with a bagged salad and apples all cooked over the fire without either of us moving our butts off our chairs. I like hot dogs cooked that way too. I have a microwave and a small burner and an airfrier. I carry fire sticks and pie irons and a crockpot sometimes. we have a tiny fridge that is also a freezer and a couple small ice chests.
So I guess it's more about how much you want to work at what you eat.

With enough pre trip preparation, you can have fantastic meals, with little "on the road" effort.

Safe travels and all the best.

Eat what you want and within the abilities of you and how your kitchen is outfitted. I've cooked very nice meals for customers that I would never eat, and eaten things that some folks wouldn't touch. Just depends upon the individual.

This is not addressed at you directly, I don't know you and have never seen or met you........ however much of the US population is overweight today. It seems to have started in the 1950's. I know, I certainly need to lose a few myself.

What I am going to suggest is, if you find yourself desiring to lose a bit, take the opportunity, to eat salads and lighter stuff (and less of it) that is better and healthier than the usual day to day fare many of us consume. Combine that with more exercise that you will get walking the hiking trails at parks, or on foot sightseeing and see if that helps you any.

I have no suggestions; at 82 all my diet restrictions are in the trash. One of our daughters began to lecture me about eating healthy. I then asked, how old must a human be to eat what they want?

I remember going to granny's rest home with healthy stuff to eat and she asked her nurse lady for a milkshake and the lady went and got her a milkshake when she saw my surprised face she asked/replied at 86 if she wants sugar give her sugar. Because why not? So she can be skinny or Live to be 100?
A. she won't be gaining weight anymore.
B. she is already close enough to 100.
So from then on, we just enjoyed our milkshakes when I went to see her. (Oh yea drove my mom nuts. So bonus there!) Now Mom is in the same boat, and we go out for milkshakes whenever possible

But since I am not there yet I try to eat semi healthy stuff and make it yummy too.

Meat, taters & PIE. Wash it down with beer. Enough said, the game is on TV.

Unless you really like to cook, we tend to make meals that are easy to fix while traveling. Some meals can take a lot of different ingredients to make so we try to avoid those so we can be out enjoying what we like to do.

Soup mixes with hamburger, onion and tomatoes are simple to fix. Crock pot items come out good but require to be hooked up to electric to fix. Grilled cheese sandwiches or hamburger and Manwich over whole wheat bread. We keep Birdseye frozen veggies on hand for sides. Chicken and steak on the grill. Foil meals are easy to do on the grill. We like Hobo Stew just 4 or 5 ingredients. Tacos are easy to make. Meat or veggie tacos.

Beans in a package with sausage, onions, and tomatoes. Beef and chicken stir fry are easy. If near a Costco we get their ready made meals to have. We also put a few frozen dinners in the freezer when we don't have time or want to cook. Then of course getting take out food once in a great while. Pizza lasts several days and are good with a salad.

We eat the same as in our sticks and bricks home. DW is organic near-vegan (will eat turkey and salmon), I eat things that are slower than me.

There are stores everywhere and DW stocks up and if we're in the boondocks for to long will prepare foods in advance and freeze them - easy peasy.
