I play hockey on my days off. Try to only drink beer on the days that end in “y”. I kid. The biggest thing is to either spend money on decent food or bring your own. You can buy decent food on road but it’s expensive. A decent meal on the road costs me $45-$60 out the door while drinking water. I used to spend that while eating burgers and fries with a few beers. I also always go to a real gym on the 30 hour layovers. I’ll spend the money and spend 2 hours there. Avoid ****ty fast food at all costs. Believe it or not, Subway isn’t healthy either. It’s healthier than fried foods, but not by much.

I don't pack all my meals, too big of a hassle, but I do bring fruits and veggies for snacks. I work out consistently so I actually eat a fair bit too.. not one those folks who can survive all day on a single homemade quinoa salad in a tupperware.

These days I just drop the coin on healthy food, using delivery services if necessary.

If you're at one of the regionals that pays less than $100K, and don't want to spend the money on the road you can still pack your own, just takes effort and a bigger bag.


But either way it's worth it in the long run to east healthy.
