Nutrition is very important for any athlete at a high level to achieve maximum performance. This is why we always look for the best options on the road to grab a bite. Places include, Taco Bell, Subway, gas stations, and any local corner bar (if you didn’t catch the sarcasm there, pay attention). With a budget of twenty dollars and transportation that consists of your own two feet, the choices are fairly limited to where you can get a good meal. Basically if we ever were to watch the movie, “Fast Food Nation” on the bus I think everyone might starve for an entire week. Then again that could also have no effect because of the fearless personalities we have. Anyone trying to watch their weight on the road might as well give up and just try to eat whatever makes them happy, because it just won’t happen. That is unless your host family is gracious enough to do the elementary school thing and pack you five days worth of lunches (we just hope it doesn’t include egg salad). But, anything is possible including being healthy on the road, it just usually involves more work than I personally care to dive into.
