Breads, rolls, and starchy salads can pile on lots of calories. So limit the starches in your picnic basket and wherever you can, make them whole grain for added nutritional value. For a welcome change to the usual picnic fare, use whole-grain buns, pita bread, or wraps for your grilled meat, chicken, fish, or veggies.
Look, egg salad definitely has a place in our heart. But that place is not a picnic place. If you aren't absolutely certain that your food will stay well-chilled before you get to eat it, do yourself a favor and leave the eggs, mayonnaise, tuna salad, etc. out of the equation. Also, there are some things that just don't taste good cold. No one wants to eat mac and cheese at a picnic.
