The bottomline is that there are NO excuses. Eating clean while traveling is possible. You just need to be smart about it.
Here are a few ideas.
Before leaving the house I made a list of foods that travel well:
- Oatmeal
- Shakeology
- Almonds
- Quest Protein Bars
- Apples
- Squeezable applesauce (read the labels. Be sure that no sugar and other artificial ingredients are included)
- Water
1. Oatmeal: Oatmeal is super easy to pre pack and put in your suitcase. You can portion out 1/2 cup oatmeal into baggies with 1/2 cup raisins, 1 tbsp flaxseed and wheat germ. Every hotel has hot water or a continental breakfast that you can get hot water from. Just pour the hot water on top of the oatmeal, cover and wait. Easy Peasy! If the hotel does not have continental breakfast, just add some nuts or find a store that has pre cooked hardboiled eggs.
2. Nuts: Spend some time measuring out a small handful of nuts into bags such as unsalted almonds, cashews and peanuts. Pack apples and oranges too because they travel well!
3. Refillable water bottle: this is a must!! Not only is it good for the environment but it is the best way to track your water intake. If you are traveling by car, simply refill it during pit stop and if you are traveling by plane, refill it after you have gone through security.
4. Granola: Homemade granola are not only super easy to make but they are also healthier since the commercial kind has processed junk in it. Here is a simple recipe. If your hotel has continental breakfast, grab a couple of plain yoghurt then add the granola for a healthy snack. Otherwise find a store close by and get some yoghurt.
5. Exercising: If you are the type of person who travels frequently but still need to get some exercise then I recommend taking your laptop with you. When you are committed to a program you must make do with what you have! No EXCUSES! With the technology these days there is no reason why you can't workout! Beachbody On Demand makes it SUPER easy to take your workouts with you! You can even download the app on your phone!
