With all the traveling I’ve been doing this year, I have been gaining a lot of weight. For an average person, the daily caloric intake should be less than 2,000 calories. Whenever I travel, I always go over that (sometimes in one meal alone). You might ask, why am I eating all this food? Well, as a travel blogger, I always want to sample a little bit of everything and I absolutely love food. My main sources of travel food include:<\/p>\n
Business\/First Class Lounges – Most domestic lounges won’t even have real complimentary food, but the international ones usually have a buffet of some sort. I usually try a little bit of everything if it’s an international lounge. The soft drinks and alcoholic beverages can add up to a lot of calories.<\/p>\n
Business\/First Class Meals – They usually include an appetizer, nuts, entree, side salad, cookie, fruit plate, ice cream sundae, and a cookie. That’s a lot of calories, not including the numerous drink refills! On a transcontinental flight or long haul, this can add up to 2,000 calories alone.<\/p>\n
Hotel Breakfast – Usually they’re in the form of a breakfast buffet and I usually try a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n
Hotel Evening Appetizers – Usually the hotel will have an evening appetizers selection in the club lounge. The offerings vary, but most of the time you can make a meal with them<\/p>\n
It’s very hard for me to try out any other local food while on vacation. Sometimes I have to take it easy on the hotel breakfast or lounge food in order to have a decent meal in a local restaurant. Whenever I am back in Los Angeles, I start my diet right away. I normally don’t eat breakfast when I’m at home, so I skip it. I don’t have lunch either. I’ve been eating less than 2,000 calories by just having one meal a day and that’s usually around dinner time.<\/p>\n
I have found that drinking a lot of water and other liquids have been keeping me full in addition to eating fibrous foods such as nuts and beans.<\/p>\n
