So I've been doing NROL and I'm on a 40/30/30 and eating 1600-1800cal/day. I'm about to head out of state for a conference over the weekend. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can not destroy everything?? I plan on packing lots of protein powder (and buying some milk when I get there) and protein bars. Help!

(agh spelling error in the topic! sorry!!)

    I'd be more interested in hearing how you *could* possibly destroy everything in a weekend. Because you can't.

    That said, take protein snacks with you. Beef jerky, string cheese, etc. Boiled eggs would be good -- if you can take a cooler, you can just boil them beforehand and take them with you to keep in the fridge. If you can't take a cooler, you can buy boiled eggs at a deli, or maybe take a hot plate to boil your own. Fruits and veggies are easy to take with you.

    Do the best you can, but don't freak out. If you're unable to perfectly meet your goals over the weekend, you're not going to undo all your hard work. It's just a weekend.

    I agree. One weekend won't destroy everything. But I've been traveling the last several weekends and I'm tired of going off track and this lack of consistency will likely hurt my progress. I'm flying to the conference so a cooler probably won't work but I'll look for eggs there! Will also pick up some beef jerky too - great suggestion I always forget about beef jerky!

    If you're traveling a lot of weekends, yeah, I do get that.

    If you like tuna, that's a good source of protein that doesn't require cooking or refrigeration. Canned chicken. If you have a fridge in your room you could buy the pre-cooked bacon, and some low-sodium lunchmeats.
