Two words: Biltong Depot. High protein, high fat, electrolytes, virtually no carbs.
I've made homemade jerky for decades out of everything from beef to venison to ducks (Yes, bufflehead jerky). This year I switched up a bit and did a more biltong-ish recipe from a brisket point. It's chewy, so it's more of a road food than an actual meal.
In years past we have made batches of chicken salad to throw in the cooler with some tortillas for quick lunches. shredded chicken, mayo, celery, and whatever else you want in it (fruits/nuts) to go with your diet and preferred macros. It can be completely keto friendly or downright sweet.
I have to eat very low-carb and when forced to eat fast food I'll get cheeseburgers from McDonalds and just toss the buns, eat the meat(?) and cheese.
Pulled pork or beef brisket, with some coleslaw and vinegar-based hot sauce, and tortillas, can make very tasty BBQ taco-ish dishes on the road if you have a way to reheat the meat. My grandma used to send us deer hunting with leftover sausage and biscuits (I had the grandma that would cook a full breakfast at 5am) with cheese. Wrapped in aluminum foil, you can stuff them under the hood of the car, up on the engine manifold, before you walked into the woods. When you came back they'd be nice and warm from the engine heat.
Summer sausage is almost perfect as a road food and it keeps a long time.
