Food For The Traveling Boxer

[ono]

Trainer Monkey, man ....... you're a decent and good trainer ....... but that diet advice is just bad!!

Pizza, Cheeseburgers!! Fried food !!!

You know that's wrong dude ...... don;t you??

If you ate it every day it would freaking kill you,Im only talking about when your in town briefly.
Sorry,I havent had alot of time to find the nice vegetarian restaurant in every city,and while I like Chinese food,they rarely serve an edible version in most airports in America
If somebody has a list,they should feel free to post them.
Because boxers end up eating in Denny's most of the time.
Also you should enjoy your time in whatever city your in,and part of that is the food.Your only going to be there 3 or 4 days,and may never be there again. One of the few perks you get out of boxing is being able to travel. And I hate break it to the Europeans,most American food is terrible for you.You think Pizza is rough,try a diner Chicken Croquette with mashed potatoes,if you can even see the croquette for the gravy you have X-ray vision.

What's wrong with taking you're own food or buying from the local supermarket? You can easily take meal replacement sachets etc...

You need a dinette in your hotel room,or your eating everything raw,and most of the time you dont have a dinette in your hotel room.
And really good luck getting food through customs if your traveling out of country,youve just put a big sign on you saying,"Please,I want to be the random search"

No do in states,we have Homeland Security,that and there are all kinds of regs for transporting food now.
Its hard enough to get your corner supplies on to the plane,you usually want to call ahead to explain what your bringing on,food,they get really pissy about,go fig.
Im telling you,most boxers end up eating at freaking Denny's on the road,which is fat slathered in fat,with a cup of hot caffeinated diuretic to wash it all down,or even worse,they give you chits to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe which makes Denny's look like health food,and what makes the Hard Rock even worse is thats where they do alot of the weigh ins,so while your trying to eat,people who think your a celebrity are asking for autographs.
The whole purpose of the thread,when you show up to a degree they put a leash on you,because they dont want their fight screwed up,and boxers do have an ability to get in to trouble(oh lord dont I know it this morning,long story) if you have a specific resteraunt that isnt The International House Of A Big Fat Ass they may let you go there instead.

When I travelled in the states on United Airlines (don't recommend) they didn't check me at all and i carried food in my carry on.

Australia is supposed to be the strictest in the world for that kind of thing because we're an island continent and want to avoid importing the rest of the world's fruit flies etc but even we are allowed to carry particular types of food.

We'd avoid fruit and veg but dry things like protein powder etc would be fine in a domestic flight.

Most airports i've been to will serve a heap of crap but you can usually pick up a salad or the equivalent somewhere.

I don't know about the states but in Australia mc Donalds has got such a bad rep for being unhealthy they've had to offer a heap of healthier options to their menu.

I'd still avoid them on principle but if you can go to Mc Donalds here you could choose something healthier than a cheese burger.

You know they put sugar in the buns which are already crappy white bread etc etc ....... EVIL

I flew to Brunei to run a marathon and my mum did the half. She gets so nervous pre-event she brought her complete pre race food supply. It was worth it in the end because in some foreign countries you don't want to risk some unfamiliar foods before an event.

I dunno TM, but my diet the day before and prefight has nothing to do with time and convenience, and everything to do with loading up properly on carbs and the right amounts of sugars to have the energy I require to fight at my best.
