Dude I was just gonna start this convo today! Crazy lol. I'm leaving today to go to Utah for camping and maybe a hike or two. But when I travel, my diet is crap. I will try to just ask for what I want and let you know how it goes. Awesome topic laura!

Hello, Is anybody out there travelling and eating away from home? How do you manage? What are your strategies for restaurants and hotels?
I picked up one strategy a long time ago from my old boss, who was and is a very health conscious man. In a restaurant, instead of looking at a menu, he simply asks for what he wants. Most places can do simple chicken or fish with side veggies. Then I add my survival tip of pushing the bread basket far away from me. And I talk a lot, LOL, also my party strategy!

The truth is I couldn't. I work in media centres well out of town and the only food available to journalists is what you get supplied with - almost always sandwiches, rice, potatoes, pasta.
Some media centres and tournaments are better than others. I really tried my best and used to take Waitrose cup soups and protein bars but for a 10-day -fortnight tournament it was intolerable.

In the end after a BIG heart to heart with my GP, I accepted that if I wanted to continue travelling round the world etc, something would have to give and so I went on to meds for control and LC whenever I could manage it at home.

When I am away - it is protein and veg wherever I can manage it. If I can my breakfast go-to is greek yoghurt, otherwise order an omelette/scrambled egg and bacon.

Lunch I can usually get away with a cup-soup I bring with me and then I can just about cope with a more carb-laden dinner if I have no options like just protein and veg.
