Work travel doesnât have to mean writing the week off!
A lot of my client are busy professionals, they tend to travel a lot.
If youâre on the road, progress comes down to decisions, not perfection.
Meal deal example.
Most people go sandwich + crisps + sugary drink
That can easily hit 1,000 calories with very little protein
A better swap:
Protein shake, Sushi, Fruit
Around 500 calories and 30g protein
Same convenience, very different outcome
How to stay on track when travelling for work:
⢠Prep before you leave - A quick look at the day ahead makes a massive difference. Pack a protein shake or bar so youâre not forced into poor choices
⢠Plan your stops - Know where youâll stop on the drive or between meetings. That way youâre not ending up hungry at a motorway fast food place.
⢠Pick the best restaurant - If youâve got a say, choose somewhere with simple options. Grilled meat or fish, potatoes or rice, veg. .
⢠Donât save calories all day - Skipping food often backfires later with overeating and poor choices.
⢠Keep movement ticking over - Hotel gym, a quick session in your room or pushing steps up between meetings. It all counts.
⢠Manage social events - Eat beforehand if needed. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water. Set a limit before the night starts.
Youâre not aiming for perfection on work trips.
Youâre aiming to avoid undoing a week of effort in two days
Consistency travels with you if you let it.
If work travel keeps knocking you off track, this is exactly the kind of thing I help clients with every week.
