Default please give me some ideas for food that travels well and is served cold!!!?

my husband is a truck driver and he's gone for several days at a time. I don't want him to eat junk so I pack food for him in a cooler. I am out of ideas! I need inspiration for things that are good cold and keep for a few days. thanks!

As long as the cooler has ice and stays cold, it is basically the same as a refridgerator. Here are some things to put in there:
Pre packed salad
Deli cold cuts/cheese
Breads
Condiments
Fruits (apples, oranges, nectarines, etc. Stay away from soft fruits such as bananas)
Hard boiled eggs

Here are some things that don't need to be kept cold
Pita chips/pretzels (much healthier)
Beef or turkey jerky
Nuts

And why not give him some money to buy healthy road food. Subway and Boston Market are good options that are healthy and filling. Just make sure he knows what to order! (No mayo, no mashed potatoes!!)

Just an idea, check out Wal-Mart and buy a small 12V cooler that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Most truckers swear by them. Small ones are 45-50 bucks, the bigger ones are $70ish but worth their weight in gold.

Also, keep in mind most truck stops have microwaves that are free to use. You can make some home-made soups, or Crock-Pot some hearty beef stew or chicken and rice, and put individual servings into Tupperware. All he's gotta do is nuke it when he stops for fuel at a truck stop.

The other answer about Subway is a good idea, you can't throw a rock without hitting a Pilot, TA or Love's with a Subway in it....to save money, you can buy fresh deli meats and cheeses for the cooler, and your husband can just go buy a footlong Veggie Sub with his choice of veggies and condiments. It's cheaper than a footlong with meat on it, plus your local grocery store will have a better variety of meats than Subway will.

You can put the food in a temperature-keeping bottle.

Thumbs up maxltd2

nike shox r4 dedicate Top plate distributes impact forces from the heel to the columns. Bottom plate produces a secure base for heel-to-toe transition. Transition wedge allows for a smooth ride. It's been called a lot of things: springy, resilient, bouncy. But to a runner, the nike shox nz means one thing: responsive cushioning. The top plate distributes impact forces from the heel to the individual columns, deflecting like a trampoline. The bottom plate supports the columns, producing a secure base to guide your foot through the heel-to-toe transition. Air Rift The columns control impact by collapsing quickly at first, and then slowly returning to their original height. The transition wedge allows for a smooth ride from the Nike Shox cushioningMaxltd.co.uk , Nike air max Ltd , Nike air max 90 , Nike air max 95 , Nike shox nz , Nike air max 360 , Nike air max 91 system in the heel to the Air-Sole unit found in the forefoot.
