Guide to Traveling: Plan!

Part 2 of how to travel and not starve!

Road-trip/Plane/Train etc.

Pack:
__ Shaker cup (my choice: Blender
     bottle)
__ Protein Shake powder high in
     protein and less the sugar
__ Green tea bags
__ Meal replacement bar
__ Kashi cereal, granola bars, granola,
     shredded wheat
__ Raw nuts and seeds
__ Natural peanut butter
__ Fresh fruit
__ Beef jerky
__ Water (buy at airport if going by
     plane due regulations)

So, you're traveling by plane...

If you are traveling on a plane look for sandwich shops or go buy the above things if you did not plan ahead. Whatever you buy, bring extra for the plane ride.

Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch/Dinner: eggs, oatmeal, whole grain cereal, yogurt, whole wheat toast, peanut butter, lean meat, whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, regular pasta, brown rice (white rice if they do not have brown)

Snack choices are listed above.

1. Always remember, as it stands when you're at home, it also stands when you're not; do not skip meals! Eat every 3 hours.

Example: Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack

2. Always have a lean protein choice with every meal! (Your meats) Coupled with grains, wholesome carbs, fruits and/or veggies

3. Stay hydrated! Drink about 7-8 bottles a day. (You want your pee to stay as close to clear as possible! If your pee is darker than a light yellow then you are dehydrated... The darker the more dehydrated.) you need to have more water when you travel by air. (Experts say: Drink .5-1.0 oz per pound of body weight per day.)

Knowledge based on several things I have learned plus what I gained at Athlete's Performance in Pensacola, FL.

Happy Traveling!
