Two months on the road - what to cook in a hotel room?

Starting in the last week of September and continuing until the first week of December, I'm going to be road tripping through Ohio, hopping from hotel to hotel. In order to keep both my food costs and calorie intake reasonably low, I hope to eat out as little as possible while traveling.
I've got to pack pretty lightly - I won't have a lot of space for a stack of rice cookers / hotplates / electric kettles / whathaveyou (I've heard these are all great options for making a travel kitchen and will probably grab a hotplate, but need to be very space-efficient with my luggage).
I'll only be in one place for a week at a time. I'd prefer not to have to transport or toss any extra, unused ingredients when it comes time to go to the next hotel.
Leftovers would be cool, but I'm not certain I'll be able to store much. I'll be taking a small cooler along. I'm not sure how often I'll have microwave access or the time to use one.
I really don't want to arrive home with ten extra pounds on me! I like McDonald's and ramen about as much as the next guy, but I'd like to keep my waistline from expanding and minimize any and all risks of getting sick while on the road.
I assume I'll be eating mostly cereal, citrus, and sandwiches, but what other things can I make to keep energized, keep healthy, and keep from being bored with my menu?
I'd also love to hear your cool stories relating to road trips and food!

Eggs, ramen, hotdogs, bread.
Just don't forget the condiments.

porridge as well.

Self-catering usually involves sandwiches.
Obviously, cooking is difficult so you mostly want vegetables and fruit that can be eaten raw and processed foods like ham, cheese etc.
Eggs can be boiled in a kettle and most hotel rooms have kettles, so that's a healthier protein to put in sandwiches than processed ham etc.
All of these can be bought in supermarkets cheaply so that's how you do it. Just bring some utensils for preparing sandwiches and salads. One good knife should do and a small cutting board, that should really be enough.

Stay in hotels that offer free breakfast and grab enough fruit to last you through the day.
Most hotels these days have a small fridge and microwave.
Buy vegetables that can be stored at room temperature like carrots and broccoli.
Tuna in the foil packets will provide cheap protein and you won't need a can opener.

Ring-pull tuna cans are also good protein
