Eating Healthy while camping at the Renaissance Faire...

So of all things I am the Chocolate Fairy out at Sherwood Forest Faire. This is my second year doing this, I was working at a booth the 3 years before that. But anyway, so last year I ate not that great out there, I had Faire food most of the time and well it just wasn't that healthy.
This year I made a change, and it helps that my friend Angela, is close and we help each other remembering that we do need to eat...
So Here are a few things that have helped me to eat better out there.
Breakfast:
I precook egg scramble, with Turkey sausage, egg whites, veggies (whatever I have, this weekend it's mushrooms, bell peppers), I can heat those up in a microwave in a trailer and make Breakfast Tacos. Yeah I know the Tortillas are not the best, but hey I am about to walk 7 miles.
This week I am also bringing Chia Pudding, cause they are yummy and I can either eat them as breakfast or a snack.

Lunch:
I either have a sandwich on a sandwich round or a Salad in a Jar... We also started to do a character lunch inside the fair and I usually have some fruit, lunch meat and cheese.

Dinners:
Friday we eat at home and then leave...So we get to the Fair before 10pm just in time to go to bed.
Saturday one of us usually make a big one pot meal and people bring stuff to add on. This weekend we'll have a veggie stew with Tofu (not sure about that) and Angela is making her super yummy turkey chili. Which I probably will eat.

Snacks:
This is the important thing...  we have fruit, grapes are always good, strawberries, and tangerines. Then I also have protein bars and I made some energy bites.

So if you make an effort, you can definitely eat healthy Camping at the Fair.
