Traveling is fun and the whole travel experience can turn into ashes if you fall sick especially if you are a foodie and you are sick because of something you ate on the road. A lot of eateries on the road don’t offer cut to edge hygienic or delightful food. To avoid facing such issues, it’s always advised to plan your food and diet while planning your outdoor trip. Diet (1)Plan Your Diet Plan your diet in advance and carry your food items or ingredients along for a healthy and delightful food experience while you travel. If possible, carry a small stove and cook wherever you take a break. You can carry noodles and ready to eat food items to help you on the way. Breakfast Diet Breakfast is the easiest meal out of all to prepare. So, during your trip it’s quite easy to have tasty and nutritious breakfast diets. Before leaving on your trip, ensure to carry a pack of Kellogg’s or fruit loops, add some milk and you are sorted for the day. You can also have multi grain bars and ready to eat snacks with some warm milk or coffee. Lunch Diet Lunch is comparatively trickier than the breakfast as you tend to eat a lot. If you are on a trip for more than 5 days, you may not be able to carry sufficient ingredients to cook or eat. If you are on camping trip near a lake or fishing trip, fetch your meal and cook it right next to the shore and enjoy your meal. Fishes are considered to be very healthy and satisfying. You may want to catch an extra for the night or the day after, but you will have to do something about that smell.
