Please see the link below to download your own copy,
so you can refer to it as you travel.
Some packing tips, be sure to pack
individual travel-sized food items that are sealed.
Some examples of this would be tuna packets,
instant oatmeal, and protein bars.
Make sure to bring any supplements,
vitamins and medications you regularly take at home.
A pro packing tip is to try to keep these items together
by placing all supplements
or medication containers in a plastic freezer bag.
Pack a portable water bottle with you
so that you can fill it up with you
before you go out on your daily adventures.
As someone who loves traveling, make sure to try new foods.
Trying new foods is a great way to learn about the culture
and connect with friends.
When trying new foods make sure you are still
getting protein, carbs and color with every meal.
A tip for getting the food through the airport
is to make sure you pack it in your checked bag
and make sure that this bag is not on the plane with you.
On this page, we have listed for you,
portable protein carbs, fruits, and vegetable examples
for you to pack.
Feel free to contact your team sports dietician,
if you have any more questions,
about portable foods to take with you.
