Meal Planning on the Road

I don’t travel a lot for business but whenever I do it’s an adjustment.  Fortunately I’m starting to form a bit of routine and at least plan my meals in advance. I try to follow how I eat at home as best I can while out of town. I’m not one to eat out of the norm or go for heavy meals. Meal planning on the road can be a challenge.

For me, normally usually means breakfast, lunch, dinner and usually one snack. Depending on the size of my breakfast it might be mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

Meal Planning on the Road

This past week I ended up resorting to apples and bananas for those snacks. It’s easy to purchase one on the side at eateries such as Panera. While I was hoping to eat a lot of salads to get my vegetables in, that didn’t pan out as I had thought. It’s been so cold that warm soup sounded a lot more appealing. The count this week ended up as:

Salad: 2 times

Soup: 3 times

Sandwich: 6 times

I managed to fall victim to a few sweets: brownie, chocolate cake and chocolate fondue! Whoops. That’s very unlike me, but once my sweet tooth gets going it’s hard to stop! I’m planning on going to yoga tomorrow to get back on track.

I also felt very “yogi” this week when I treated myself to my second kombucha. There are about 60 calories in one bottle, if you are curious.

In Summary

Meal planning on the road can be challenging but does not have to be impossible. You can eat healthy and stay healthy while going on vacation, a weekend trip or traveling for work. The key is planning ahead and being strategic.

This might mean planning meals in advance, determining where a local grocery store is or even looking at menus online before you order  your meal at a restaurant.

Do you treat yourself when you travel for work?

How do you keep your diet on track?

    My problem is that I work from home and eat all day long. I’ve started drinking strong flavored herbal teas so I can distract myself from snacking. It’s helping some and it keeps me warm.
