Meal and workout planning when traveling
After awhile planning your meals and workouts in advance just comes naturally, doesn’t it? So natural that I have a hard time understanding why folks have trouble doing it. Even when traveling
For example, I am travelling for work today and tomorrow. So, tonight I will workout at the gym near the hotel that I’m staying at. Already know what I will be doing (plus or minus): upper chest, shoulders and triceps. Tomorrow night, it will be some kind of HITT cardio.
And regarding meals for the next couple of days: Had a piece of steak this morning b/c I knew I was out of the cheese I use with my eggs. I needed to use the steak before I left anyway (and I didn’t eat it last night b/c I needed to deal with some fresh fish). Packed a piece of the steak for lunch (b/c meeting lunches are usually pretty crappy). Will have a Cobb salad tonight at the hotel restaurant after my workout and save half of it for lunch tomorrow. Breakfast tomorrow will be eggs and bacon (at the hotel) with some whole wheat toast that I bring from home.
Snacks for my drive to and from Peoria (my destination) will be Clif Protein Bars and some beef jerky. And of course I’m bringing a couple of scoops of whey protein and my BCAAs.
Simple, right?! I just don’t get it when folks complain about not being able to eat well on the road. At least when you travel infrequently like I do.
