The holidays are quickly approaching and with this, you may be traveling more than usual. A few hours into your trip, and the family starts to get hungry. Where can you go that will make everyone happy? Likely a fast-food restaurant. This may leave you feeling nervous or feeling like you need to just throw in the towel for the day. But I am here to tell you that eating out and traveling doesn’t have to throw you off course with your goals!
When I travel, I make sure of two things. First- I always have protein snacks with me when I travel (check them out here!) and second, I always have the core restaurants that I know I can go to for at least 30g of protein per meal. Check them out below!
