Traveling is never easy when staying away from refined carbs; you're not going to find a Farmers Market just off the interstate on, say, a Tuesday. That said, even giant 'travel centers' offer some possibilities. The big ones have a huge selection of only slightly-overpriced legumes, and occasionally apples and bananas. I did see turkey franks once, but mostly these are beef and pork--which you could easily just eat plain, without a bun. Luckily, on this trip I also had a huge sealed plastic container of trail mix, and lots of water. I guess you could also take along in a cooler a hunk of some low-water cheese, such as Romano, and a really sharp knife with which to cut it up.
At Love's Travel Center in Quartzite, AZ (elevation 106, population 106, and temperature...106; a little travel humor), you can get salted, de-shelled pepitas--pumpkin seeds--in a decent size for under three bucks. I didn't find the fruit, but I did find their house brand of beef jerky, which, while it did contain some amount of sugar, did not contain any chemicals or preservatives. In a pinch, I'll eat it--and you can safely give the plain variety to your dog as a snack without having to stop. As well, 100% percent juice drinks are available--I don't recommend that hit of sugar, but it is...factually, food. Water is best.
Speaking of water...next month I'll be posting a podcast from the owner of a wellness center in Panama, where hydration and fasting are practiced as keys to good health. Listen and decide for yourself. Stay tuned.
