CONTEST PREP ON THE ROAD

Hey all. I need a bit of advice here.
It never fails that I have to make a business trip right in the middle of every contest prep. I'm now 7.5 weeks out and I have to head to Austin for eight days. The good news is there's a decent fitness center at the Radisson - so I can do my AM cardio - and a Gold's four blocks away for the real stuff (thank goodness for that free travel pass).
My problem is I'll be off site pretty much the entire day, every day. I need to get my 40gP and 25gC six times a day, and I've already cut out shakes and bars. The protein isn't a problem - I can sneak away for five mins and suck down a can of tuna, but the carbs are another thing. Can anyone recommend a good, ready-to-eat low-GI carb food that I can take with me without the need for refrigeration or heating? Rice cakes are going to get really old, really fast. And, please don't tell me to carry a couple of raw potatoes in my pocket.
While I'm at it, is there anyone on this forum who works out at the Gold's Gym on 6th St. in downtown Austin and wants to hit a workout next week? If so, let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Ezekil Bread my friend...in my mind tops the list as far as Carbs go. Check it out!

I love those rice cakes and cashews.

So, Jer - where is the best place to get Ezekiel bread? Do you have a good online source? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Check out ur local health food store coach, I'm not sure where else u can get it...I'm sure there is somewhere online where u can get it...let me research it a bit, and I'll send ya a msg if I can find a place.

The Food for Life website has a store locater.
It's mostly Whole Foods or other natural food stores. I found out that, since there are no preservatives, this stuff won't keep for more than a few days. Is that correct?
Thanks for turning me on to this, I'll definitely be picking some up. There's also Ezekiel Cereal that I'd be able to snack on throughout the day.

By the way, Dave - you mentioned the cereal - and that reminded me of another possibility for you - Kashi cereals and granola bars. Are you familiar with this brand? As we know, granola bars are never a great choice - but Kashi are much better than the rest. Their Toasted Oat cereal and Harvest (shredded) Wheat Cinnamon are the only cereals I eat any more. For a good treat, their Oatmeal Dark Chocolate and Cherry Dark Chocolate cookies are great - much less sugar than normal cookies and lots of whole grains.

coach don't mention Kashi anymore. I just bought some.lol

This is what I did, dry oats or oatbran+whey+almonds, I ate this shit dry or added a little water when down easy

Mrpres - why? Didn't like it? Which kind of *not mentioning the name* did you buy?? :)
