On the road?

[ping]

How does everyone stay on track with your diet when you go out of town for several days? I blew it big time last time and I wont do it again.

Im thinking about some of those bag tunas. Anyone had these?

Thx

That's one of my problems also. Some times I do a lot of traveling and can't seem to get the diet right. It's really hard when you travel with a group of people and none of them are concerned about your diet.

I have tried the bags of tuna, not bad. I prefer the bags of salmon over the tuna. Anyone tried the bags of chicken?

I use to be on the road 200+ nights of the year. And I would sleep during the day, drive all night, which made it all the more harder.
I was also using truckstops as my sole source of food most of the time. I had to, the band wanted that, and I was alone in my quest for health. So it was Flying J's, Waffle Houses, and whatever greasy spoons that caught the bands eye.
So, I lived off canned and bagged tuna (they loved it when I cracked a can open in the bus!), beef jerky, bunless burgers, steak and eggs with milk, and usually nuts like almonds, cashews, and peanuts at night.
My mentality was to just get the lesser of the evils on the road. It was all I had for "options." I did what I could, and when I could. It was 130% against everything I was trying to obtain. But I made do.
To show you how much I was suffering, the first year I came off the road, and ate a decent schedule of meals, I gained 15lbs. and kept the same BF%. It was great. Wish I could do that every year!

George, i'm on the road for work once or twice a week... when it happens, i keep a cooler with me and i'll have cool chicken breast, cool oatmeal, fiber one cereals, protein shake, fat free cheese... or if i'm not on a diet i'll have turkey sandwich, potatoes, protein bars...

But for me, the worst part is when i'm am with a client on the road... i dont want to imagine how he would react if i would be eating a cool chicken breast in my car while driving! So in those siatuations, i stop by a fuel station, dissimulate the cool chicken breat in my pocket, go to the station's toilet... and eat incognito (If you do that... watch your teeth before returning with your client... it can betray you ;D )

Mo. You are always eating chicken in bathrooms.


Anyway, to answer the question. Just pack the right food. Make the right choices when eating out.
