So, on a flight this AM I grabbed something to eat that is a little out of my protein comfort zone. It was a fig granola bar with some chocolate in it. I hadn't had anything to eat and was desperate. Shorter flight so not a lot of options. I fell asleep and woke up actually vomiting/foaming. It was all over my shirt and face. My first concern is how the hell that happened. I also couldn't believe the person who was sitting next to me didn't do something...but whatever. I am on my second week of four traveling all week, back to back, and this is so hard. I see the doc on May 8th, the day after the travel is over and he is not going to be happy. My goals are basically to not vomit on myself and to just get through the travel. Anybody with a high travel job have any suggestions? I have some quest bars but I'm struggling with everything - protein, fluids, vitamins, working out.

When I'm at home I get almost everything in without any issues. It's frustrating and I feel like I'm wasting a month where I should be losing a lot just basically trying to maintain status quo (or less). I'm not overeating but I'm not eating correctly.

Sorry I don't have any advice, but that sounds horrific! Maybe you could change jobs Seriously, I think the Quest bars would be vital and try to carry a Water bottle with you everywhere you can. Good luck and thanks for the warning!

I travel constantly with my job. I keep Protein bars, protein powders, tuna foil packs, and Jerky with me at all times. In my carry on I have enough that I could live in an airport for three days without worry! The best advise I can give if you travel to repeat areas or sites is know where your local grocery store is and make sure hotel has refrigerator. The first 3 months on the road being selective of what I ordered and following the rules I didn't lose like I thought I should. When I started going to the grocery store and buying my own salads and Greek yogurts etc I really started seeing the pounds drop. No matter what waitress, cook, or restaurant you are at, oils, fats and calories will get on your plate even when you ask for no/low oil. I have one plant that I visit frequently and I keep a shoe box with jerk and tuna in the HR managers closet. At another site the hotel lets me keep a box there as well.

Be careful about eating tuna on the plane, it's a little stinky. I also hoard boiled eggs from the Breakfast nooks for Snacks etc. I keep ziplocks in my suitcase as well, just a few. I try to always eat before I get on the plane to avoid issues as most high protein items do have an odor, not an aroma!

I hope this helps! A good luck!
