Help! Need ideas please for nonperishable low-carb AND nut-free survival rations...

[MrsBigD]

Thought I'd ask on here as MN'rs are always a well of info ;)

So here's the deal... I've been limiting my carb intake - read ditch the bread, potatoes, white pasta, rice etc. watch the gluten/wheat, you get the picture - and have upped my protein. So far so good, less bloating and jeans fit better despite not watching the calories... yeah!

Now my dilemma... I'm going on a scout outing next weekend and the scout kids will be cooking, which means cereal, sandwiches, pasta or fatty sausages, repeat and repeat . Just not me, so wracking my brain on what I can take.

Complications:
I won't have a fridge to store any food (such as hard boiled eggs, or yoghurts, or vege sticks, or hummus...)
It's a nut free zone... If it's just the family I'd take nut bars and such but that's a no go this time.
Stuff like Up&Go doesn't agree with me

So I'm stuck at:
Apples, Pears, Satsumas
Small amount of whole grain rice crackers
Tinned tuna
Nut free trailmix... which all seem to either be very high percentage in dry fruit or just plain tasteless and unsatisfying ;)

and I'll have to survive on that for 3 days

HELP! :)

TIA

Are you eating low carb to lose weight? Or more generally to improve your health? Whichever it is, you sound as if you're making the mistake of thinking low carb means low fat which it definitely does not! I've been eating this way for years, having started to lose weight and continued because it was so good for me all round. For me, a few days camping without a fridge etc would involve some hard cheese (like parmesan), some good quality beef jerky (i.e. not the stuff with lots of sugar added), a packet of whey protein to add to drinks, some tinned cream ditto, a few packs of pork scratchings, some 85% cocoa chocolate etc, etc. And if there are going to be sausages ... yum! Hope this helps and that you have a fun trip!

hi chathan, a bit of both. Less carb defo has reduced the bloating. Problem is I don't like fatty stuff besides nuts, avocados etc. as high percentage of animal fat upsets my stomach as well ... and pork scratchings... [shudder emoticon] maybe if I'm starving and there's nothing else around

Pumpkin seeds or other nut allergy friendly seeds. Fennel, cucumber(kept as whole), celery and carrots keep fairly well without fridge. Courgettes and peppers cook nicely over an open fire. Most supermarkets have higher meat content sausages, some are gluten free.
