Paleo to Go

Who's ever felt like they were a victim of this guy?  Surely, if you have children then you see him quite often, and loathe every trip you take to see him.  If you aren't so afraid of what his food does to you, maybe you should take a look at this.  (Yes, that really is a hamburger purchased in 1996.)

So what of us that actually do try to think about nutrition while out on the road?  This is something I was forced to do quite a bit of thinking about over the past few weeks as I have been traveling back and forth between my old job in my old town, and my new home in my new town.  There is almost an hour and a half of travel time, so I often stay with friends in the old town while I'm working to keep down gas costs.

At first, I was just going with the flow and submitting to the "necessary evils," but after a while I started to feel like crap as my body revolted against all of the junk I was putting in it.  I now would like to introduce one of the things that saved me on the days I didn't have a stove to cook with.

The Hardee's Low-Carb Thickburger

When I found out about the "Low Carb" at Hardee's, it was like a new light was shining through to me.  It may only be a thickburger without the bun, but it's great for somebody who tries to not go carb-crazy when they don't have an option to eat at home.  They also have a breakfast companion called the "Low Carb" that is a simple mix of eggs, sausage, bacon, swiss, and cheddar cheese.  You can learn more about their healthy options here.

After finding these two mini-fast food saviors, I went in search of other foods that might fit either the low-carb, paleo, or primal guidelines, and I found PaleoFastFood.com.  The person who came up with this site, a person who simply goes by "Jtubbs", actually gets out there and does the searching.  They've brought me into the light for so many "paleoesque" foods that I can get while I'm on the road.  I definitely recommend going there and checking it out if you're in need of an idea for your next meal out.
