What's up, guys?
Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM.
Just got back from Wrestlemania 31, 4 days spent out in San Jose, much nicer than it
is here in Connecticut.
However, I spent 4 days on the road.
And a lot of guys always say to me, 'Jeff, what do you do when you're on the road?
How do you eat well?'
Because nutrition is always a question that pops up on this channel, and nutrition is
always a problem that pops up on this channel.
Guys want to know how you eat when you're on the road and how you stay healthy.
Well, I have a couple tricks and tactics that I use with me all the time.
The first is staring at you right here behind me.
These 3 bottles.
These are RX-1, RX-2, and RX-3.
Now, the trick is, I never travel with those 3 bottles, but what I do do is, I take my
supplements and I put them in little baggies.
And, No.
I don't get stopped by TSA for contraband.
These are actually, you know, just the supplements in these little bags.
I have RX-1 and RX-3 here.
I mean, it's as simple as just taking the baggie, taking a scoop just like this, you
know in here, and then you've got another RX-2 serving, right.
So, we have RX-1, RX-2, and RX-3.
These obviously fit in my bag very easily and the reason why I always travel with my
supplements is for 2 reasons.
Number 1 for consistency because we know that supplementation consistency is really key.
And Number 2.
I travel with these because I never know what I'm going to find when I land in the city.
Now obviously most, most cultures are up to date on the fact that
some people prefer to eat healthy, and there's a lot more options we have these days no matter
what city we find ourselves in.
But that being said, I don't know specifically how the options around me are going to be
especially if I know my schedule is going to be busy.
And I knew this past 4 days that I was going to be on call pretty much 24/7, and I wasn't
going to maybe have all the time in the world to go seek out healthy options
and places to eat.
So, if I have my supplements with me, I can quickly and easily have a healthy meal option
without having to seek out too many different options.
And also, not have to take much time because I might only have about 5 minutes to get my
nutrition in and then get back to work.
What I also do is I spend a little time the night I get there, not just going right to
sleep but looking at the menus of the hotels and looking at
the surrounding restaurants that I do have at my disposal.
I might even call the concierge and ask him, 'What are some of the healthier places to
eat around here?'
Well, I located one when I was in San Jose.
I want to look at the menu with you right now.
Of course, the place I picked isn't all that relevant because
if you don't live in San Jose or visit San Jose, you may never find a Whispers, but what
I want you to do is look at all the options we had here on this menu.
This menu was packed.
As soon as I arrived here, from the A La Carte options to the different types of wraps that
they had,
to all the different types of omelette choices and options we had, I knew right away.
I'm going to be able to eat here.
And guess what I did?
I didn't look for anywhere else.
You see, I'm not looking to get creative when I'm on the road.
If I find a breakfast place, that is my breakfast place Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Done.
I don't want to have to think about it.
And I know some people don't like to travel that way.
But for me, I find it to be very, very easy to make sure that I get in the right nutrition.
Back to the menu again.
What I was looking for obviously, as you guys know, I have my oatmeal in the morning.
I have my carbs.
I also look to get my protein in.
I went and I looked at the omelette options.
I chose an egg white omelette.
That doesn't mean that you can't have your yolks, guys.
I just like egg whites.
I had an egg white omelette and I chose this Marina where I could choose 4 different ingredients.
So, we want to get some of our carbohydrates in there, too.
I picked spinach.
I picked onions.
I picked mushrooms, and then sun-dried tomatoes.
And I had that every single morning that I was there.
It tasted great, and I didn't feel like getting creative like I said.
I went back there again because I knew there was a whole bunch of options here for lunch.
And I would go to my standby and one of the things I love the most, a Cajun Chicken Wrap.
We took the chicken wrap that they had there.
They just did it Cajun style.
I asked them.
That was not on the menu, as you can see right here in front of you.
They said, 'Yeah.
We can do it up Cajun style.'
So there was a little bit more spice, and I asked for some red peppers and a little
bit of extra salsa just for a little bit more moisture.
Wraps can become a little bit dry if you remove all the wet ingredients from them.
So, I had the wrap, and again, I did that 3 days in a row.
I got yogurt on the side.
I got some fresh fruit as well.
A La Carte menu again coming in handy.
It worked out perfectly for me.
Finally, when it comes to dinner, I do 1 of 2 things, ok.
The first night I was there, I ordered room service.
Now, I know I'm going to pay extra for room service.
Matter of fact, I had a hundred dollar room service for some pasta and chicken 2 of the
nights that i was there.
Why?
A, it's a little bit easier.
Again, convenience.
I'm not out trying to find places that might take me either off my schedule.
It might take me out of my work schedule which obviously is not an option.
So, I go for the convenience of room service at a little bit added cost.
But I can find that on the room service menus, you can be very, very specific,
and you can make, they're used to getting your specific requests.
If I want to remove something from a meal, all I have to do is ask.
If I want to add something to a meal, that pasta I had did not come with chicken, I wanted
to get some protein.
I add it.
Fine.
They charge me $6.50 extra.
Ok, fine, I needed to get the protein.
So, I just ask and I find it's very, very easy, especially on room service to make a
request.
If on the other hand, we go out to dinner, I will usually go out with my client.
So, if I do, I let them make the choice, alright.
If they want to go somewhere, I'll go, and I never really worry about it because I find
that it's very simple at restaurants mostly for dinner to find a meal option that fits.
And I mean, all we're looking for is a staple protein to start our meal.
And it could be a lean steak.
It could be chicken.
It could be ahi tuna which I did have one night.
And then I look to surround it with vegetables.
And again a lot of times steak houses are your best options because they give you the
A La Carte options.
They give you the brussel sprouts grilled or whatever.
They give you the grilled vegetable option.
They give you asparagus.
We had like a charred asparagus.
It was awesome.
And then I'll have a carb, whatever that starchy carb is even if it's a baked potato.
I just won't load it with all the crap that comes on top, you know.
Most of the time they come and they load it all up already, and I don't even know how
they do that because they're presuming that people like to eat it that way.
I mean, for me, it would turn my stomach, all the bacon and all the sour cream and everything
loaded on top.
Just give me the potato.
I'll kind of dress up it up as I choose with just maybe a little bit of salt, little bit
of butter.
So, you can find something somewhere, it doesn't matter where, again, if you focus on the protein
as the core of your meal and then
fill in your starchy carbohydrates and fibrous carbohydrates as I showed you in the past,
sort of around that meal, you'll never go wrong.
And I think again, it's not that challenging if your goals are to remain in shape when
you're on the road.
For me it's not an indulgence.
I'm not out there to just splurge and become, oh it's a party, while I'm out on the road.
I'm working.
And if I'm working, I consider this, how I eat, my work as well.
And I enjoy everything I eat.
If you don't enjoy what you eat, you'll never be able to stick to it.
But you have to try to find choices that you enjoy that also aren't going to crush you
when you get back, add 5 pounds every time you come back from a vacation.
I can tell you, I've never come back from a vacation weighing more than when I left.
So, hopefully, these few tips will help you out.
Again, the convenience of my supplementation for me is key.
It makes everything very, very easy for me especially during the working day.
And if I scout out a location that I like, I'm there.
And you'll find me there every single, every single afternoon.
They'll get sick of me by the time I'm gone.
And finally, for dinner, I just don't think it's all that challenging.
If you find a restaurant, there's something on every menu that you can enjoy.
If you guys found this helpful, make sure you leave a comment and thumb's up below.
And if you're looking for ways to expand your meal plans, ways to find many more options

See what it's like to feel some freedom from your nutrition, right.
I never feel like I'm going to be stuck if I'm on the road.
I always know that there's something that's going to get me through no matter what place
I find myself in, whether it's San Jose or Santa Fe, alright.
So, I'll see you back here again soon, in just a few days actually with another new
video.
