It's so easy

to stay on a diet at home, and so hard when I’m traveling! For example, I’m in a hotel now. I looked at the breakfast menu this morning, and the only thing healthy they had were eggs at $29! Scratch that. I got a danish at $14 instead. That lasted me till mid-afternoon, when I could finally dash in the hotel restaurant, which had been woefully over-crowded. Again, cost was an issue, so I had a chicken salad sandwich on wheat. It’s 7:30 now, and I buckled and tried to order room service, since I have some work to do in my room, but it would take an hour and a half! Ergo, I’m sitting here with a small can of mixed nuts, the healthiest thing (from a diabetic perspective) from the minibar.

Anybody else out there who is diabetic got any tricks for handling eating healthy while traveling???

No hints, just holy crap!

$29 eggs! A $14 Danish!

You might hit a grocery store and pick up some fruit, bagged salad, cans of tuna, salad dressing, and a can opener. And maybe paper plates. All that together would not be $29.

Good point!

I should just cut the crap and travel prepared to find a grocery store!

(and yes, $29 for two eggs! That’s $15 per egg! Even with a travel fund, there’s no way the university is gonna cover all of the costs of food here.)

Welcome to San Francisco!

Yeah, I think our

university system allows $7 for breakfast. That’s half an egg at your hotel. A person could starve.
