1. I buy bags of unsalted almonds, walnuts, cashews, and sunflower seeds and make my own "healthy" version of trailmix.
2. Dried fruit (the non sugar laden stuff)
3. Peanut butter
4. bread (to make PB sandwiches)
5. a couple cans of soup
6. Protein powder
7. Meal replacement packs
8. Oatmeal
9. brown rice
10. protein shakes (similar to the slimfast ones but the protein shake version w/42g protein per serving
)
11. Drink 2 1.5L water bottles a day (from the galley)
12. Vitamins and fish oil
13. Protein bars
14. Carrots/brocolli/turkey/banans/apple for day 1.
Thinking about a cooler and bringing a few pounds of cooked chicken breasts. I keep it all in a duffle. I can get 4 days out of it (typically will get at least 2 meals on the road/layovers) By day 3 I typically buy at least 1 chilled chicken salad in one of the airports in addition to some fresh fruit from morning breakfasts at the hotels. 4000 cal diet and 250g protein a day.

Here is my typical 4day inventory....
1 small loaf of bread
1 jar of peanut butter
1 tube of jelly
2 cans of soup (heat can directly on coffee maker)
2 hormel meals
2 cans of alaskan salmon
1 box of pop tarts
1 bag of dried apricots or other fruit
1 ziplock bag full of peanut butter bars
1 ziplock bag full of cliff bars
1 pair of panty hose
2 tubes of lipstick
...all carried in a small duffle bag
also, get yourself a military p-38 can opener. It will allow you bring cans along that don't have a flip top lid. I have never had a problem getting it through security.

I have a small lunchbag that I throw three PBJs, granola bars, and various crackers like Cheez-Its, Wheat thins, maybe some chex mix (depends on what I buy before the trip). I stuff two or three bowls of the microwave soups in my overnight bag for eating at the hotel.
I figure just on these alone, I'm avoiding 3-4 meals on trips at an average of $8 a meal. Saves quite a bit of money and allows me a little flexibility if we're overnighting at a destination that has a restaurant I like.
When I get my next check I'm going to buy a larger lunch bag from Ebags.com. I figure the little guy was paid for the first time I used it. I should have the big bag paid for by the end of a four day.
