Quick tour tip: bus stock, better choices on the road.

It can be tough to travel and eat well. When the time comes to make a list of bus stock foods on the tour bus, try making some better choices. It takes a bit of extra thought and time, but if we keep it simple and stick to a few rules we can maintain a healthy diet on tour.

rule #1

Reduce sugar.

rule#2

Avoid processed foods.

rule #3

Eat more protein.

rule #4

Eat healthy carbs and fats.

Let’s face it, if you’re eating crap you’re probably not performing at your optimum level. We really are what we eat. Our body, blood, brain, skin and organs are all a reflection of what we eat on a daily basis. Some effects of our diet are subtle, some more obvious, but all of it affects us. Our energy levels, cognitive abilities and overall mood are all impacted by the things we eat. Food is all too often less about daily nutrition and more about our need to satisfy cravings.  Touring is very active by nature but no amount of activity or exercise can combat an overall poor diet.

Variety in nutrition can have many benefits, although successfully maintaining a good healthy diet for most means not over complicating it. Here is a simple guide you can use for eating better on the bus…

Bus stock list:
