How to eat when traveling for the holidays š¦ š! There are a few different ways one can take regarding holiday travel š eating. If youāre maintaining your weight or trying to put on weight, then just eat in moderation and enjoy yourself. I do recommend hitting your protein goal for the day šŖ! If youāre trying to lose weight and donāt want to stray to far off your goalsš, I recommend the following tips: š Stay active. You may not have a gym at your disposal, but a brisk walkš¶āāļø, jogšāāļø, etc. still keeps you moving. There are plenty of bodyweight movements you can do as well, like push-ups, air squats, plank holds, lunges, etc. š Hit your recommend protein š„š goal throughout the day š Pack a cooler with protein snacks to supplement in between your 3 main mealsš½. You can fill the cooler with low-fat yogurt, cheese sticks š§, fruit š, veggiesš„¦š„, protein bars, protein shakes, jerky, etc. I like to pack individual serving sizes so everything is already portioned out. š Healthy fats are a good option like nuts š„, but I usually get enough fat in my other foods while traveling, so I donāt eat additional snacks with much fat. š Pick and choose when youāll enjoy a treat šØ. Mindless eating wonāt get you any closer to your goal. I recommend having veggies š„, low-fat dip and fruit šcut up and ready to eat instead of candy, chips and cookies. š If you plan on having a nice meal š„ out every day, eat mostly lean protein š and vegetables š„ for the other 2 meals. That way you have plenty of carbs š and fats saved up for your 1 nice meal. š If you eat out more than once, have a handful of options available in advance where you know the macros already. If I know Iāll be eating fast food, I can use my macro tracking app to look up options in advance! I can add healthy carbs that Iāve already packed in my cooler, or I can get a side of fruit or a salad. š Make sure to stay hydrated. If youāre eating out a lot, most restaurant foods contain high amounts of š§ . Enjoy yourself! Eat healthy when you can, and donāt go overboard when healthy eating may not be an option.
