Food For The Traveling Boxer

[Howlin Mad Missy]

B12 injections are good pre Fight

I'd love to know what's in your kit bag Dr. Scrap

I live on the border, and have not had a problem. If we aren't in the states fighting, we have travelled through it to get to another part of Canada. Plus we go there all the time to shop or visit. I've always brought my own food when weight was an issue going thru. Now they can take certain types...but generally they don't. I've also not ever had a problem finding something healthy in just about any restaurant to suit my needs be it to lose or to gain. Now I've never been to West Vrginia...so maybe it is different there.

But c'mon TM, maybe you should amend the title of this thread. Like call it "food I like when I travel for boxing" or something, anything else. A lot of us don't eat this sort of food, and especially don't eat it directly prior to a fight as it just isn't very good for you. It'll sit on your stomach like bricks and generally not provide the energy of other foods that are easy enough to find. I don't buy the 'most fighters eat at Dennys' either. Based on what?

Based on most of the time if the fighters flying,they end up eating at Denny's or the Hard Rock.
Even with Feur's next fight,while Trinidad has loads of Chinese restaurants,they also have more KFC's per square mile then anywhere on earth.

Are you saying most of the time if you're flying? Because if you are going to say most boxers...aleast back it up with some info. We are in here telling you we don't eat there, or this food. That's is fctual. All I ask is to provide proof of the same. I mean..surely you understand why we are calling you out on this. We don't agree.

If I make a thread that is saying doing bicep. curls is what most fighters do to strengthen their punches...I'd expect to get called out on it. And if I thought I was right, surely I'd be expected to have some facts to back it up.

The facts are just that simple,start flying and you'll find it out for yourself.
They dont let you stray too far for too long,because the fact is,they probably spent more money to fly you in then theyre actually paying you for the fight itself.
So theyre factually keeping you on a pretty tight lead
And airport security factually doesnt let you take food on the plane
And you factually dont get a hotel room with a dinette,the most you get is one with a microwave,and microwave food is factually worse for you then anything I listed.

That's not facts at all. Just an assumption that most boxers eat at Denny's or cheeseburgers and philly steaks. I suggest it is wrong.

And to make it a thread titled 'food for the travelling boxer' tends to lead one to believe it is some sort of guide to a proper diet for boxers...prefight etc as you have mentioned weight making in the process.

Maybe make it this..."Boxers are forced to eat shit food no good for them because...' to which I would still argue, it isn't that tough to find good food. I can go into just about any restaurant and find a spaghetti dinner, salad on the side, ask for whole wheat bread etc. And if by some chance it is not there...it is usually close by.

So I'm not going to argue this with you any more, but just say it is a BS premise to suggest most boxers eat like that, and at Denny's because you have zero proof and no one I personally know when travelling eats this way before a fight.

A pretty easy assumption to make,considering how many phone calls I have to make in a day.
Enjoy ammies,because the whole gig changes when you make it to the pro's

microwave food is factually worse for you then anything I listed.

That's actually a myth.

Obviously partly it depends on what you put in the microwave but the cooking process of a microwave is healthier than boiling because you don't loose content to the water it's cooking in.
