Tomorrow is THE biggest travel day of the year!
And one of the most common concerns I hear from clients is struggling to stay on a healthy diet while traveling.
This is universally true from seasoned road warriors, to backpackers, to families traveling for the holidays.
It really comes down to the old (but true) saying if you fail to plan you plan to fail-
1) Get a decent breakfast the morning of your trip. Stick with your routine meals until you leave the house.
This is no time to be running on empty.
You’ll feel better and have more energy all day.
2) Pack and carry as much healthy food and snacks as you can.(don’t forget your vitamins!) Just one less thing you have to worry about finding, if you already have it with you.
Granola Bars, Protein bars, apples, dried fruit,unsalted nuts, almonds, you get the idea.
What doesn’t work? Peanut butter sandwiches and bananas don’t travel well at all-just trust me on this one.
Protein powder, and meal replacement powder either in single serving packs or reinforced baggies work too. Just pour one it into a water bottle and you’re good to go.
The Advocare Meal Replacement Shakes should be put into plastic baggies also. The packets tend to rip and end up with holes punched in them when tightly packed.
3) Airport Convenience-Getting better all the time.
The last couple of years has shown a marked increase in the healthy choices you can get in an airport.People just don’t want to eat terrible food. And they won’t tolerate feeling awful anymore.
Examples are:
-Smoothie King (Protein Shakes)
-Starbucks (Protein Plate)
-Au Bon Pain (Chicken Ceasar Salad)
-Cibo Express Markets (multiple healthy choices)
If you make it through security and find yourself scavenging-look for these things to help you make the trip. You can find these if you’re looking. And they travel well.
1. Greek yogurt
2. Mixed fruit-again apples, melons and grapes can be found in to-go containers
3. Hard-booiled eggs
4. To-Go Salads
5. Energy Bars(check the calories some are as high as 400 plus cals per bar so thats bascially 2)
6. Hummus and Pita Bread
7. Cheerios-single serving containers
8. Ready to Drink Meal Replacements like Muscle-Milk
9. Slimfast(Last resort)
Last thing don’t forget your own water bottle.
Fill it once you’re through security and it can double as your shaker bottle.
Have a safe and healthy trip!
