I travel quite a bit for work. I love it. Or at least I used to. I still love travelling, but now I’m determined to get this body of mine under control and stick to the diet a whole new set of challenges opens up.

So I’m now practically dreading it because I’m really worried about being able to stick to my diet when I’m “on the road”.

There are three meals a day that I need to get through somehow.

Breakfast shouldn’t be an issue. Unless I end up in some really bizarre hotel they’ll have cereals and fruit etc., so if anything I might get more variety than I do at the moment.

Lunch could be the first hurdle. If I’m eating out in a restaurant ordering something light like a salad shouldn’t be a problem. However a lot of the time you don’t really have a choice. If you’re at a conference you have to eat whatever is available.

And what about dinner in the evening? It scares the hell out of me! Sure, if there’s a restaurant involved with a menu that I can order salad or something light off, then I’ll be ok, but there’s no guarantees.

How to other people manage it?

What kind of things are “safe”? What is best avoided? I can think of a few obvious things, but beyond that I get rather stuck.

So if anyone has any helpful tips I’d love to hear them!

    I tend to aim more for high protein diets so when I’m eating out, steaks and burgers are my friends. Skip the bun on the burger (most restaurants will do a burger bowl with the patty sitting on a bed of leaves) and avoid the heavier, cream based sauces. It would be rare that a restaurant wouldn’t swap out pasta/chips/spuds for a salad or vegetables.

      That’s very true. A “naked” steak with a few leaves of salad wouldn’t be too harmful 🙂

      Thanks for your comment

    If you are stuck in a restaurant and can’t get a light option, or if the non-healthy options are too tempting (a few glasses of wine can weaken your resolve!) then just do half your normal portion. You don’t have to eat everything in front of you. Eat half the normal main course portion, put your knife and fork down and sit on your hands if you have to. Skip the starter and desert.

    Easier said that done though.

    Nuts!
    Not you, but the food.

    If you find yourself stuck in an Airport with nothing but dodgy food places around you the energy from a packet of nuts can keep you going for hours.
