Do you guys travel like I do for work?  I'm seriously going to be in my apartment for like 3 days over the next month… I'm not exaggerating.

When you spend so much time living out of suitcases in different hotels in little towns it's pretty easy to get off track with your eating habits.  Fast food stops are a regular occurrence on travel days and every other day it's easy to fall into the trap of eating out with all of my co-workers.  I have to really work at eating well on the road and honestly, I'm not that good at it.  This What I Ate Wednesday is a compilation of some of the things I ate on the road last week when I was trying to stay healthy. 

I made my way to a Safeway to stock up for meals.  Make sure you always check to see if your hotel has a fridge/microwave in your room before you go shopping.  One time I had to leave stuff in the hotel fridge because they didn't have individual ones, which is fine but not the most ideal situation.

 Breakfast

 This Banana Bread Granola I had for breakfast one day was from Laura's Nature Box.  Have you heard of them?  It's pretty cool.  They ship you a box each month with like 5 or 6 snacks in it to try.  I can't vouch for everything because I don't have one of my own, but I've been reaping the benefits like the good friend I am ;)  I obviously had to grab my Starbucks in the morning as well (I think this was a grande iced toffee nut latte?).  Normally on the road I'll just grab two pieces of peanut butter toast with a banana in the morning for breakfast (not that different from my breakfasts at home).

Lunch

Remember when I told you guys to check to make sure they have a fridge in your hotel room?  Well this week my fridge froze like EVERYTHING I put in it which was annoying.  But I really love these salad bowls from Safeway.  They are low in calories and they come with everything you could need to eat it, like a fork.  I usually don't use all the dressing anyway so it's even better for me!  But the asian chicken one is my fave.  I've also seen salads like these at Target so I'm sure they sell them all over the place.  I also brought in some of the stuff I'm featuring for dinners below for lunch on a couple days.  

Dinner

I'm just really proud of my dinners.  SO. I bought a rotisserie chicken from Safeway along with a HUGE frozen bag of broccoli (Jenn would be so proud), a cup o'noodles, and side of herbed potatoes.  Throw them all together for a killer dinner in your microwave all week.  It was super good.  

Dessert & Drinks

I'm honestly from the religion that believes you can never have too much sugar.  Because of the Starbucks Treat Receipt promo going on right now I'm ALL about going to get myself some caffeine in the afternoon.  Whipped cream?  Don't mind if I do.  Not healthy but necessary for sanity.  Also, I told you I was awful at staying healthy all the time.  The Doubletree's cookies are famous.  That means I needed to have one… every. single. night.  And let's face it.  If I'm on the road this much I can't be expected to forego the local breweries for the sake of calorie limits.  We loved and hated some of the beers at Venti's.  And overall the food there was pretty good.  Don't worry… I'm planning on writing a review soon.

Well, that's all I've got for you this week.  What did you eat?  How do you eat on the road?  Any pointers to make it easier?  A year in and I'm still looking for helppppp!  As always check on it with Jenn for other WIAW's!  And I promise I have a few posts planned for you this week, but grad school has been kicking my butt (along with other things going on).
