Traveling Eats
Traveling certainly has a way of switching up my meals, although I found my self eating some familiar dishes during my trip back to Columbus. I thought today would be a fun time to link up with Jenn and get in on her Wednesday tradition!
Yesterday was quite busy, waking up at the hotel, and eating a quick breakfast before spending the day working at a career fair.
I knew my breakfast would need to carry me through a busy day so I started off with Greek yogurt, fruit, and granola. I also ended up having half a piece of toast and a few bites of breakfast potatoes but they didn’t make it into the photo.
I was on my feet all morning so lunch was a welcomed break. There was a Chipotle right across the street from the career fair so I opted for a vegetarian burrito bowl. I will never tire of this lunch.
I snacked on an orange in the afternoon but I was still hungry when dinner time rolled around. By this point I was at the airport, at the only restaurant that was in the terminal. To say there vegetarian options were limited would be an understatement. They actually didn’t have anything vegetarian on the menu.
I ended up getting a chicken salad without the chicken. This was the kind of salad that people eat because it’s called a salad but is really just cleverly disguised cheese and nachos. This was far from healthy but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I ate most of this and will admit that it was quite delicious for airport food. I guess you win some, you lose some.
I’m certainly ready to get back into the kitchen this week! Now it’s a matter of deciding where to begin experimenting!
Does traveling switch up your eating?
I love Chipotle! I wasn’t on the Chipotle bandwagon for a long time, and I gave it a second chance and got the vegetarian salad, and have loved it since! When I travel my eating habits get a little worse than normal, which isn’t a great thing.
I’m glad you gave it another chance!! I love their salads!
My eating is just like that when traveling. And my pocket book becomes empty! lol.
I love Chipotle for on the go!!!!
Traveling definitely switches what I eat- there are always a lot more treats when I’m away somehow! But eating new foods is also one of the things I love most about travel.
I hate it when it’s impossible to find vegetarian options- it’s 2014!
Oh Chipotle! We eat it at least twice a week! It’s an addiction!
Travelling definitely switch up my eating, but that is one of the things I love so much about it. It is always nice to break out of routine!
Oh my gosh YUM to all of this. Traveling does tend to switch up since we tend to eat out more, but I’m pretty careful with what I pick to eat, ESPECIALLY because I know my hubby is going to want to get some ridiculous dessert.
I hear you! And who can say no to dessert??
Not bad for a travel day! I know I can fall victim to airport food, often eating stuff that I wouldn’t normally go for – and spending way too much money for average food! It shouldn’t be an excuse to eat poorly though, and you’ve set a fine example of how to avoid that 🙂
Traveling changes everything, my workout routines, my eating options! I’m vegetarian transitioning to a vegan/plant based diet, and sometimes it is hard to choose, or to find healthier options. Airports are the worse at that! I just try to plan ahead and look for available options or snacks like nuts :D. In the workout are if I have an accessible gym I’ll go, if not a good pair of running shoes and I’m good to go!
Airports are nearly impossible! It’s so frustrating, because the “healthy” food is always SO much more expensive!
Traveling always makes healthy eating a bit trickier! It looks like you did a great job though! My husband and I always make sure we bring some type of granola/granola bars, apples and banans, dried fruit of some sort, and string cheese whenever we travel anywhere!
You’re smart to be prepared!!
