I try to keep the bread intake down, but I love this little sandwich maker, become a must have tool. Today’s meal was zatarins blackened chicken alfredo and home made garlic bread using McCormick garlic, black pepper, onion and sea salt combo. ![12311](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex033/uploads/thedrivingtruth/original/1X/180743ad309fcf8464216e077b5b34a9603f9acb.jpeg) ---

My partner, who I will be team driving with, and I were talking about things we should take with us for cooking on the road. He’s got a little propane camp stove and I’ve got a travel size charcoal grill. I have a nice electric skillet and I think we’ll be able to eat pretty well on the road! ---

I myself have the trusty microwave I someday will venture out to a grill or a hot plate. ---

When I was OTR, I cooked everything with an electric skillet. I found it to be everything I needed for food prep and once I got a system figured out, I always had a hot meal at the ready. My diet was protein centered, very few carbs and starches and certainly no processed foods or fast foods or soda. I went from 238 lbs to 172, where I’m at now. I noticed that my energy was greater and I was more alert and focused as I progressed with this diet. This was obviously a big advantage as a driver, not to fight drowsiness all the time. ---

Can you give examples of what your protein based meals would look like @Bruce My diet on the road is something that’s pretty heavy on my mind as I start my journey in a couple weeks. Thanks ---

What I did while driving was to make meals at home and reheat in my Hot Logic. Then i was given a microwave that reheated meals. My last 6 months I got a Presto electric skillet that I used to cook meat and eggs in since I was trying to eat the Carnivore way of eating. ---

Right on, Laura. I found that method to be best for me also.
