Energy/Mood: Bloody hell I'm tired. Slept another 12 hours, what a dull weekend, but I obviously needed it. Hams are so tight, I can't bend over, hobbling around like an old lady. Sugar cravings out the wazoo and P saved me from a food fit.

This just reminded me how most hotel and plane food is so heavily carb laden.

What I've done in the past (also prior to some food selection changes)...

Hard boiled eggs - I'd wrap 3 in paper towels then in a small baggy and put in my magazine/book tote that I'd take on the plane (not sure that would work now though with the recent changes in travel though ).

When I would arrive at my destination I'd buy oats, romaine lettuce, no sugar apple sauce in the plastic serving size containers, mini boxed raisins (enough for one mini box per day), more eggs or tuna in the self opening can. You can boil the eggs in the hotel if they don't have a plug in kettle just but a cheapo one.

The tuna you can put in a long leaf of lettuce and eat like a taco (tastes pretty good with some raisins too).

Oats uncooked, with some apple sauce and some raisins - stir well - it's pretty tasty.

Eggs - well - their boiled eggs - you can also cut them up, add some raisins and eat in the leaf of lettuce like a taco.

I'm not sure what your schedule is like while traveling for work but mine usually means a lot of walking and running around - so the extra carbs did me well.
