1. Eat Earlier than You Go

Sounds straightforward, however probably you will be operating round like a headless hen, attempting to perform #allthethings in what at all times finally ends up being a really small period of time.

Try to slot in a wholesome meal (do be aware I’ve mentioned meal, not snack) earlier than you head out the door.

A slice of frittata you baked earlier that week and simply have to reheat is an ideal choice.

A Balanced Bites meal is one other nice, fast meal choice.

Attempt to eat protein first – issues like laborious boiled eggs, some breakfast sausage, or leftovers from final night time’s hen dinner. Add wholesome carbs to your meal like a chunk of fruit and a small handful of nuts for satiating fats.

This strategy will preserve you full till your subsequent meal, with even blood sugar.

Personally I am a giant fan of our YETI cups – I really like the magnetic closure and the way chilly it retains my water and discover I drink a ton extra water every day due to it.

4. Highway Tripping or Flying Excessive

Whether or not you are flying or driving, use a cooler bag with a dependable/leak-proof ice pack to maintain meals contemporary. Pack meals in tall/slim containers that keep upright and received’t spill.

If in case you have a resort booked, request a mini-fridge in your resort room. Or, higher but, guide a room that has a full kitchen. Not solely are you able to retailer your snacks simply, however you can even whip up some primary meals (and even retailer just a few BB Meals!)

I additionally discover it actually useful to discover a grocery retailer alongside your route & refill when you arrive. And do preserve additional protein and fats sources readily available like jerky, granola, nuts or nut butter packets within the occasion of a flight delay.
