All the salami, prosciutto, pepperoni, mozzarella, parmesan, and olives you can eat!

Sometimes I eat banana pepper rings as well

I have difficulty not eating an entire jar of pepperoncini peppers in one sitting. My wife also looks at me funny when I eat sauerkraut straight from the jar with a fork.

If you're craving pasta, check out Banza. Made from chickpeas it's really quite good and leaves me feeling a whole lot better than wheat based pasta.

I'll check it out.
For coffee I just do vanilla Starbucks beans, heavy whipping cream and liquid Splenda if I want it sweet.

While less than traditional wheat pasta, that's still quite a lot of carbohydrates for a "Keto" diet, the core tenant of which is > 20g carbs per day.

I wouldn't incorporate it as a staple, but for the occassional pasta fix, it could work if it fits your macros.

I'm mainly on the Carnivore diet so I mainly pack steaks, burgers, eggs, butter and a skottle when I travel. So easy, So simple. My dog is a raw fed dog so essentially we can eat the same things except I cook mine.

I use Low Carb Bread Company pasta. It's really low carbs, sans the fiber, and really high in protein.

I'm new to the whole overlanding thing, but I've been running a mostly (cyclical) keto diet for a while now. Thanks for the tips on what to pack. It's a shame more people don't use this diet. I was a non-believer until I did a 30 day "challenge" and started doing research. I firmly believe it is the most optimal diet out there.. And what a better diet to couple it with extended road trips to remote locations!

Edit:
Pork rinds are a fantastic snack to add as well. High in fat, practically no carbs. You just have to make sure they weren't fried with an unhealthy oil.
Hemp seeds are a great source of protein and are loaded with health benefits with science wellness.
Pickles are also great. Hardly any carbs, high in sodium, and great for your gut.

I follow a keto diet too, and when I travel, I make sure to pack things like beef jerky, pork rinds, macadamia nuts, coconut chips, and keto protein bars for snacks. I also bring along canned tuna or chicken for emergencies and a few of my favorite keto-friendly seasoning blends. For the cold items, I usually have pre-cooked bacon, avocados, pre-made salads with the dressing on the side, hard-boiled eggs, and cheese sticks. Prepping everything ahead of time really helps me stay on track while traveling and saves me from having to stop for food.

Lets just say. “Fast food is a running herbivore” I love the carnivore mindset but am not so strict. I stay aware from grains a lot but not completely. I grind my own hamburger from a 20lb chuck roll. I just ground pounds of venison/bacon burgers for my next trip! Individually vacuum sealed, ready for the griddle!! There are many ideas that come from the keto/carnivore mindset so I will have to follow this thread!
