Thread: Food For The Traveling Boxer

You have to eat on the road,youve got your food chit,where to spend it,specify if its coming up in weight after weigh in or coming down to make weigh in
NYC-
Coming down-get a falafel from a street vendor
Coming up-theres a burger joint on St Marks
Add on

Philadelphia-
Coming up-Any cheesesteak joint in the city,theres a tex-mex burger joint on South Street
Coming down-I have no idea how to do this in Philadelphia,if I still lived in Philly,Id look like Jabba the Hut

Chicago
Coming up-just about any Pizza joint in the city
Coming down-Almost all the food in the Midway Airport,the odds of you even finishing it are slim and nill,I dont care how hungry you are

If I'm on a trip and I'm going stay at a friends place for a little while I usually bring my oatmeal and protein. It's just an everyday staple of my diet, and I usually can find the rest of my food from any local supermarkets or grocery stores.

As for going out to eat, I enjoy chinese or mexican food. Rice, vegetables, with chicken or beef makes for a balanced meal. Occasionally I'll go to a steak house, but I don't go for big portions, and I usually have a caeser salad on the side.

Why I started the thread,was half the time,when your booked as a pro,you dont know a damned soul where you are. Hell Ive had to do research on some of the cities I sent boxers to,because Id never actually been there.
What the hell do I know about Sacramento?
And promoters keep you on a pretty tight lead,because they dont want you to get in trouble before the fight,and most of the time your hotel doesnt have that nice little dinette section,most of the time its a TV,a Safe,A bed,and a refrigerator,so youve got to find a place to eat.

Nashville-
Coming up-there is a GREAT steak joint right near the hotel district
Coming down-they have a flea market on the weekends downtown that you can grab some great veggies

Trainer Monkey! That's all junk food! Booo!

Steak and veggies is junk food?
Since when
Falafel is only chick peas fried in vegtable oil topped with cucumber sauce,just straight veggies is just straight veggies,just straight steak is just straight steak.
A proper cheese steak is chopped steak with american cheese on an Amaroso roll with peppers and onion and sauce of the tomato.
Im not getting the junk food part
Now if I was recomending fast food joints,youd have a point,because as good as they taste,most of those fries are suicide as far as fat content,I would have mentioned Chinese food,but generally,I either go for quantity,or just any place thats a whole in the wall in that cities Chinatown that isnt serving duck.I like ducks,and even if I didnt,theyre fatty as hell anyway.
But regardless,this is what your eating on the road,wether you like it or not,you probably cant afford a private chef,and room service is probably worse for you if the hotel your in even has it.

Japan-find a way to bring your own food,except for maybe hibachi style,it was either just squirming very recently,and I do mean squirming,or is a variation of American food that is 5 times more unhealthy then the American version.
What these people will do to a poor innocent doughnut will make you get a clogged artery just looking at it.
Also,avoid pizza,they put corn on it for some reason Ive never fathomed
Go with the hibachi resteraunt

Anybody know anything for Trinidad,this has suddenly become a pressing concern of mine

Why would you encourage a fighter to eat Pizza, Burgers and Cheese Steaks?

Exactly my point. He's listing a bunch of high-fat, oily foods and saying it's healthy because there's a vegetable in it.
