Week 2! Spring Break on a Diet

I was traveling all of week two which means keeping to the cut very strictly was pretty hard. My macros were the same as the first week (high fat low carb) and some of my favorite meals were replaced with some quick portable meals. My biggest tip for traveling on a diet is to bring your meals where you go! I would wake up in the morning and cook most of my meals for the day and out them in a lunchbox if I knew I was going to be out of the house. Some easy on the go meals that I found helpful were:

-English muffins with peanut butter

-Protein waffle (recipe coming soon!)

-Lenny & Larry protein cookies (VERY high carb)

-Pimento cheese and celery

-berries

-POPCORN (stovetop prepared)

-Rice cakes with peanut butter or pimento cheese

-Quest Chips

-Precooked meat (make sure it stays cold)

As you can tell a lot of these are simple quick snacks that are easy to take on the go. My favorite thing to bring with me if I know I'm going to be out is popcorn because I get to snack on something and it doesn't have to stay cold. I also ate with my family a lot which luckily they were all very understanding about my diet and were willing to make meals like grilled chicken and steak. Overall the week went pretty well and I had good workouts. I did not loose any weight probably just because I was always traveling and was forced to estimate a lot of my nutrition but I also didn't gain weight which is the ultimate goal! I'm happy to be back home with my gym and coach and ready to keep going strong.
