I am in outside sales so it is sometimes hard to plan my meals when I am going to be away from home for a day or two. I don't want to bring a million things from home or have to eat out. Ideally it would be great if I could bring a few things from home and pick up a few things from a local convenience store when I'm out. After many months of doing this effectively here is a weight loss plan you can follow when traveling.
This is based on a 1400 calorie day which is what my goal was when I was away from home, driving, and not very active.
Breakfast: Since you are usually on the road in the morning I did not have time to sit around and cook or waste time. This is why I went with a bagel in the morning. You can pick it up on the way out or bring a few from home. I do put crème cheese on it but VERY light.
For lunch I usually have a little more time and can stop at subway or even make a sandwich of my own. Personally I usually stop at subway. Stick to the basic sandwiches. I go for a turkey breast with wheat bread. No mayo but I do use mustard and all the veggies. The foot long is 600 calories and although its 100 cal more than what I planned for lunch its ok.
Snack: I usually go for an apple or other vegetables. I want something that is good for me yet will fill me up. An apple is actually exactly 100 calories.
For dinner I can sometimes stop by a restaurant for my 500 calories and still eat something healthy. If you can find a restaurant that will bake you a fish and you add some broccoli with light butter it is the perfect finisher.
You can eat to your heart's satisfaction and still lose weight, provided that you plan your meals ahead and keep the calorie restrictions in mind!
