Repost: Quick Food Ideas for Traveling on the GAPS Diet

from: http://gapsdietjourney.com/2010/08/food-ideas-while-on-vacation-and-staying-on-the-gaps-diet/

• grilled chicken/steak/pork chop option with vegetables or salad from a “decent” restaurant

• Larabars

• peanut butter

• apples cut up

• carrot and celery sticks

• (the above) dipped in peanut butter (or almond or any nut butter)

• freeze meat and take it out right before heading to the airport. Butter, ghee, VCO or some fat in a container and carry it along with the meat.

• Beef jerky

• hard boiled eggs

• raw zuccinni

• Liver

• Properly soaked nuts

• avocado – cut in half, put back together

• find the nearest Whole Foods (kraut, salad and other things)

• Many restaurants will also work with special orders if you tell them you have food allergies.

• Houlihans

• Outback (Order the meat without the special seasoning and substitute additional steamed veggies (without the seasoning) for anything not GAPS-legal. Also any other steak and seafood place generally works.)

• Chipotle- Order a carnitas bowl (no rice or beans) with the tomato salsa, lettuce and guacamole.

• Jamba Juice- They have a few all fruit smoothies that are OK.

• Hamburgers with just lettuce and tomato. If you get stuck you can always do that. In-n-out would probably be the safest of the fast foods. Make sure to tell them no seasoning.

• Order things without spices and without butter if not currently on butter. Most restaurants are pretty accommodating.

• cooking up some meat, chicken, etc., freezing it, bringing it in your suitcase and when you go out just order a plain salad, bring some olive oil, and throw on your own protein?

• Hamburgers.

• McDonald’s ¼ pounder is 100% beef.

• Five Guys burgers also has 100% beef patties.

• Easier to eat at real restaurants (i.e., not chains, not fast food).   The chains get their food shipped to them already semi-prepared so it’s tough for them to take sauces and ingredients away.
  
  

  • Biscuits (Coconut or almond)
