Many people freak out when they have finally got into a rhythm with their diet and the moment of truth arrives. Traveling. Some people panic because they will be living in a hotel for a couple of days to a week, trying to figure out what snacks to eat, and even dining out once reaching your destination. I am currently on a trip myself as I am typing this. I was terrified that I may not be able to keep up with my diet and meal plan. So I put my thinking cap on and thought about the world around me. Fortunately I am in a really great location where I could walk to Publix and the hotel provides a refrigerator and microwave. So for you, my friend, that is all you need to be successful. Now if there is not a place in walking distance but is like 5 to 10 minutes away, I would recommend going to do one big shop for how ever long you are staying at your traveling destination.

I forgot to mention that I am a breastfeeding mother so my caloric intake is a bit higher than the person who falls in the 1500- 1799 bracket. The color coded hearts are for those who are using portion control containers and/or apart of the 21- day fix health and fitness programs. Though you can still take the above information and apply it to your diet during your travels. If you are interested in more information about the portion control containers and/ or 21- day fix program please feel free to contact me.
