How to Eat Healthy (ANYWHERE!)

Eat healthy and build ripped lean muscle with this…

Eating healthy when traveling can be a challenge, if you are not prepared. In this video, I share with you my tips for eating healthy on the road throughout the day. I show you the exact things I ate during a recent trip to Wrestlemania 31 for work. From breakfast foods to lunch and dinner options, as well as a supplement packaging trick that helps me to stay consistent with my diet wherever I am.

Most people travel (for either business or pleasure) and wind up gaining weight by the time they get home. This is because traveling usually throws people off their normal eating schedules and leaves them hungry and craving foods they don’t normally eat at times they don’t usually eat. This doesn’t have to be the case.

If you prepare a little ahead of time, you can definitely eat healthy anywhere you find yourself. One of the things I do before I go anywhere is pack my ATHLEAN-Rx supplements in little bags or single servings. The supplements provide me with a convenient and quick meal (I mix them with a banana and some skim milk) so I can get my protein in without having to sit down at a long meal. I’m usually working during my travel and I just don’t have the time to take a lot of time to eat.

The night I arrive at the hotel, I spend about 10 minutes looking through the menus for the restaurants in the hotel (as I like to hit these up for dinner and breakfast often during my stay) or for other options around the hotel (within walking distance). I will often ask the concierge what are the healthiest places to eat so I know what my choices are by the time I wake up my first morning there.

Once I locate a place that has a breakfast I can count on, I do not switch! I continue to eat there every morning of my stay. To me, it isn’t about variety it’s about consistency. I know that if I can get my consistently healthy breakfast in every day, I’ll not only feel better but I will be able to continue to build muscle while I travel without worrying about getting fat.

Sometimes, room service is my only option. While it’s often ridiculously expensive, it does provide a convenience and a customization level that some restaurants aren’t even offering. Since my body is a large part of what I do for work, the added expense is something that I’m willing to pay to ensure that I can meet my nutrition needs the right way. Not for everybody but then again, I swear that it’s possible to find something healthy at any restaurant so you definitely have options.

"I have never come back from a vacation weighing more than when I left" - Jeff, RESPECT ... thanks for the challenge and motivation to help maintain my goals this break!

cop holding your bags: can you explain me this?
You: just my supplements

best advice ever: "if you don't enjoy what you eat you will never be able to stick to it." thx Jeff.

Looks like he left his chewed up gum on the bench while he filmed.

Another option for quick, healthy and cheap meals on the road: tuna fish. Buy the meal-size packages that can be ripped open by hand, without the use of a can opener. They take very little space in your luggage. At your travel destination, buy a loaf of bread and maybe a favorite vegetable topping (bell pepper, cucumber, tomato....). If you don't have a knife and cutting surface in your hotel room, clean the vegetable, remove the seeds if necessary, and eat it whole, as a side dish to the plain tunafish sandwich. If you don't have a refrigerator in the room for the vegetables, buy only enough each day for that day's meal. You'll easily save money over room service and eat far healthier. Use the saved money to take your wife or girlfriend to her favorite restaurant when you return home. She'll order whatever she wants. You, of course, will have the plain tunafish sandwich. :)

I think one of the most important things as Jeff said is to enjoy what you eat. Because if you will enjoy eating healthy and clean i don't think that anybody would like to come back to bad nutrition ^_^

[coreyhamilton]

Thanks for this video I'm on the road often and find eating right is the most challenging part..

[nikka]

Jeff if you get pulled over and cops see this supplement bags, you gonna have a bad time.

Can't put stuff in a baggies like that with powders going across states or by airports while traveling. They assume its some kind of drugs. So I bring the whole tubs.

I live 30 mins away from San José.... I'm still mad that I couldn't meet you in person Jeff

[alanlithgow]

The healthy options r always there its not difficult! All I know is if I'm going on a 4/5 day trip and eating out most of the time, I'm eating whatever I want! Your not goin to lose them gains in that amount of time! It obviously depends on the shape that ur in but for me I'm eating whatever I want!

great video jeff! I've been traveling for 7 months now and getting my nutrition right has been a struggle but this video will go a long way to fixing that. loving the content, keep it up!

[Loganallen]

I've used your advice from day one, eat nutritionally dense foods, be hypo-caloric and workout = results I'm currently carb cycling and I'm getting leaner by the day, keep the videos coming brother!

One time I brought a ziplock bag full of creatine to Miami and got questioned by TSA

[ThePinoyexplorer]

i am looking for the leprechaun comment, where is it?

[willwhittington]

Great Video! I bagged my RX protein powder the same way when I went to Miami. Big bags of white powder laying around the room in Miami

Hey Jeff! First I want to say I'm so glad to be the first to comment! Second do you think you could make a video similar to this for students that live with their families and your the only one in your house who really watches what you eat? I don't mean trying to change the diet of the entire household but in my case I don't have a complete say in what my parents bring in my house. I enjoy healthy foods but it's not always available to kids my age and it's not always easy with that kind of temptation. So please think on it and love your stuff!

Amazing video as usual, Jeff. The thing in countries that aren't as developed as the USA is that they don't understand this kind of stuff at restaurants, they don't even have whole wheat bread many of the times, let alone listening to the customer about not using the heavy dressings. I hope more and more people in the world begin to acknowledge healthy eating because it can get a challenge like it or not.
