I travel for work 50-80% of my month. I always make sure there is a gym at my hotel, which means having gym access at your fingertips cuts out excuses. I often go to a market and stock up on basics like shelf stable fruit (apples, etc), peanut butter, oatmeal, nuts and protein bars. If I have a refrigerator I get yogurt,…

^^ Perfect answer.

When I was actively losing and getting smaller, I would only buy inexpensive like everyone else is saying, Target, TJ Maxx, etc. However, it really depends on your activity preference, so a sporting good store isn't such a bad answer after all. They can check your gait and help you select gear specifically for what you…

I see what you are asking. Have you ever portioned out 1800 calories of salty chips? That's a bowlful at best. That quantity would sail me through maybe half a day, and I'd be headachey from a lack of protein. Let's face it, many of us like to feel satiated with fullness as well as deliciousness, so we figure out ways to…

This. Especially three. I was noticing I was bitter and sad. I was trying to eat 1200 and work out and I'm active in my job. It was just too little and made me feel like I should just give up. Evaluate your goals.

If you eat real, normal and whole food you can easily eat to your goals.

You were warned not to drink them, or not to drink them 'a lot'? My 42 year old brother had a habit of one can of Rockstar a day, for few years, which his doctor told him to lay off. He had a massive heart attack 6 weeks ago and passed away. Sure it wasn't "one or two here and there" but it's readily available, mass…

I also am guilty of half a piece of fruit, a quarter cup of yogurt, etc. A squeeze of lemon helps some things from turning brown and I always leave the pit in an avocado if I just take a portion. Also, a refrigerator is useful.

My diary is also public. I try to eat low sugar/flour/alcohol. I train with a trainer 2xweek, cardio 4-5xweek. I also am a business traveler 75% of the time. Add me if your diary is also open and you like to interact on MFP.

Nine pages in, I wonder if anyone has mentioned this. When I first started taking my fitness seriously, I was a size 14-16 couch potato and was suddenly motivated. Within 6 months, maybe less, I was a size 8-10 and am glad I didn't drop serious coin on expensive gear right away. It's been a few years and I float around a…

I'm childless, but this was also going to be my suggestion. Additionally, it's probably the most peaceful time to go and it's out of the way for the day. Not to sound too 'tough love' but I feel like you are blaming someone else for your slack on going to the gym. Where there's a will, there's a way. If you want it, you…
