Business Traveling & Food Choices

Hi all...

I'm slowly adding in foods after 1 month post-op. I travel about 60% of my time for work, I find I just can't go through a fast food drive-through anymore. I went to lunch with coworkers to a local diner, which food choices were your typical pub sandwiches, salads, fried stuff, appetizers chili...etc.

I would love some restaurant suggestions from those that travel a lot. Plus how you manage situations where food choices were very limited.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm not quite one month, but eating solid foods. Like you, I travel at least 50% of my time.

Of course, fast food is not really an option. I'm eating a bunch of fish. So far, my preference is Sea Bass or Salmon. Sides are really a hit or miss. Typically the fish portion is enough

Oh yeah. I drink a lot of muscle milk, because I can find in most major c-stores. Just in case, I pack some powder protein, and blender bottle

I travel for work. I'm not a month in yet but I made a list for myself. If sandwiches are the only option, I'll just take out the bread. Or have whole wheat bread only. If I do to a restaurant or pub I'll look at the appetizers. Some pubs here make deviled eggs, which would be a good option. Basically, any chicken or fish that are grilled or baked. Keep the sides vegetables only. I live in California so we have "In & Out", luckily they make protein burgers which are burgers wrapped in lettuce instead of bread.

My profile picture is not me. It's my "FitSpiration" body.

In my area we have several grocery stores in that have a salad bar amd always have turkey or chicken on them. I travel around a lot too and will puck some protein and veggies off of those bars.
