In episode 119 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I’m on the mic solo to share some of my favorite travel nutrition tips for busy athletes, inspired by decades of personal experience and 10+ years as a sports dietitian helping active people fuel on the go. 

Travel is fun, exciting, and can be an enriching experience from a fitness and nutrition perspective, but it can also throw your fueling routine completely off track.

Whether you’re headed out for local errands, a vacation, work trip, or a destination race, this episode will help you plan ahead with confidence (and without obsessing over every bite). You’ll walk away with practical, evidence-based strategies to stay fueled, hydrated, and energized wherever life takes you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why travel nutrition matters (and the most common fueling mistakes)
  • How different types of travel impact your nutrition needs
  • Tips for commuting around town, work travel, vacations, plane vs road trips, and traveling for a race
  • How to stay proactive and create a flexible but individualized plan
  • Packing the right sports nutrition and gear to stay active while you're away
  • How to prep before and after a trip so you’re not scrambling for food
