Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 When I play tennis, I'm typically on the courts pretty much the whole day. It's time-consuming to get there, tennis is fun, getting fresh air is good, I want the most exercise bang for my time buck, etc. etc. etc. So needless to say, I need to bring food with me. This is where it gets complicated, though, so I could use some suggestions. I've tried jerky, but it's too lean -- I stay hungry after eating it. (And to date, I haven't found or made any pemmican that I can bear to gag down.) I've defaulted to bringing salami to the court, which keeps well (because it's cured) and satisfies (because it's very fatty) but of course there's the pig fat PUFA factor along with other drawbacks, so I really want to stop doing that. I've sometimes brought kefir or yoghurt smoothies in a thermos... but that's often my breakfast, and I don't want to have two of those in a day. Besides, the sugar:fat ratio is really too high for enduring satiation, and the protein content might also be too low to keep me full for any real length of time, so at best that's an adjunct, a snack, rather than a full meal. I do have a second thermos meant for food rather than drinks, but needless to say, the idea of bringing any kind of hot food out on a hot summer day is utterly beyond contemplation, so it'd have to be used for something cold but also fatty and fairly proteinaceous. Any suggestions? TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
