Travel Like a Nutrition Pro
It’s common to throw all smart eating strategies out the window when traveling, rationalizing with "I’ll get back on track when I’m home again."
Or a more common thing we hear is: “I am so nervous that I will blow my diet and lose all momentum towards reaching my goals."
About 2 years ago, we were both traveling at least 15 days out of each month…
… and eating out every single meal that often gets old really quickly. We had to figure out a plan to still maintain some sort of normalcy while being on the road so much.
And every single one of our strategies came in handy when Louisville was crushed with an ice storm last year, leaving us without power for 10 days. That’s tough in January.
So while living in a hotel, we filmed this video — smart eating strategies when you’re on the road.
Any others that we forgot? Leave a comment!

Any recommendations for those of us who are allergic to milk and eggs?
Thank you!

Try soy, almond, hemp, or oat milk — all are available in containers that don’t need to be refrigerated until opened, making them even more convenient. As for the eggs — simply use other sources of protein to fit your particular needs.

This was a super helpful video! I would love to see a video on how to pack a healthy cooler since I'll be starting a new job next week that requires me to be on the road all day.

Hey Tracey — great idea. To be honest, a lot of the foods would be similar — think portable and easy. Greek yogurt, individual cottage cheeses, fruit, hummus, nuts, etc.

Thanks for the tip on calling ahead and requesting a refrigerator and a microwave.
I’ve stayed in hotels that had small kitchens, including a refrigerator and a microwave, in every room, but I was not aware that you could call ahead and request a refrigerator and a microwave when staying in a hotel that normally doesn’t have these appliances in the room.
