what I ate on VACATION
As a fitness girly who takes nutrition very seriously people always ask well do you track on vacation?
This time, no. But I have before and it depends on whats happening...but here's what I do -
Since I've tracked food for years I am very good at knowing what my body needs & wants. I know the amount of protein I should be eating and my hunger cues really tell me the rest. Of course I enjoyed my time but fueled with foods I know would make me feel good inside and out. I always stick to whole foods for the most part and stir clear of any fried foods (I don't typically eat fried food and it doesn't sit well with my digestion, plus its pretty heavy kind of food). I also picked foods that I normally eat day to day - like my breakfasts were pretty similar to what I would have at home.
Having a healthy relationship with food is key, and understanding how to fuel your own body is important!
Maintaining a balanced diet while on vacation can enhance your travel experience. As seen in my choices, whole foods are always a smart option. I enjoyed dishes like veggie omelets, grilled fish with vegetables, and refreshing salads. Remember, focusing on nutrients rather than calories helps foster a healthy relationship with food. Incorporating familiar meals, like yogurt and granola for breakfast, helps ease the transition while away from home. It's all about understanding your body's needs and enjoying your food. Don’t overlook the simple pleasures; a scoop of gelato can also delight your taste buds without compromising your nutritional goals. Next time you travel, consider packing healthy snacks for the journey and opt for meals rich in protein and fiber. By making mindful choices without constant tracking, you can enjoy delicious meals and maintain your wellness. Always listen to your hunger cues and stay hydrated, so your vacation is enjoyable and fulfilling!
