If you're trying to "lose weight" or stay healthy in spite of your occupation then you need to plan ahead. Here's what I did today.
1) Ate breakfast
Made a shake by blending:
4oz (1/2 cup) apple juice
4oz (1/2 cup) water
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 scoop Living Fuel greens (high quality protein plus organic greens)
1 Tbsp flax oil
2 slices bread toasted
1 Tbsp soy nut butter (natural)
8 oz (1 cup) water
Skim milk latte
2) Snack
8 oz (1 cup) water
1 pear
3) Large Lunch
Fridge was empty so I ate at Tom Hortons
Large Garden Vegetable sandwich
It's not posted on the menu anymore but it's one of their healthiest sandwiches.
Whole wheat bun, toasted
Swiss cheese
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber
Mustard
1 medium coffee
1 cookie
Bought a 1 Litre bottle of water to drink on the drive and through the evening.
We hit the road for 1.5 hour drive and I had a full belly! There was no need to stop for junk food on the highway.
We played the first of two sets. On our 30 min break the band went to the golf club "bistro" in search of food because it turns out that no food or drinks were provided for the band.
The bistro only had triple deep fried pub food and pre-made sad looking meat sandwiches.
I asked for a vegetable sandwich but was told it would take more than half an hour to make something "special". Since when are vegetables so difficult?
Since I had fuelled my body reasonable well earlier in the day, I decided to only eat a snack (banana and water) and have a healthier late dinner at home.
Lessons:
1) Pre-gig eat well all day
2) Bring healthy water and snacks from home (e.g. fruit, 10-15 nuts or sandwich) so that you don't have to eat junk and sabotage your health and fitness goals.
Yours in good health,
