For those of you who have lived like a "roadie" the way us people in the events industry do, you can understand where I am coming from. Why does it seem that I am always saying "as soon as I get home its back to eating healthy". Will that day ever come? Let's dive into a typical day of eating while producing a trade show at a convention center.
6:30 am - breakfast @ hotel coffee shop - large coffee, danish or bagel & cream cheese
Mid morning Diet Pepsi
Noon - Fast food near by OR overpriced turkey sandwich from the stands that are set up for move in. And of course the Diet Pepsi.
4:00 pm - feeling ravenous so I grab a candy bar to hold me over until dinner and can't forget to wash it down with Diet Pepsi.
7:30 pm - dinner @ restaurant in hotel lobby - probably over eat since this is your first decent meal of the day and wash it down with a few beers or perhaps a Captain Morgan and you guessed it Diet Pepsi.
We constantly abuse our bodies outside and inside (looking at what I ingested above) and no one will will ever commend you for that. Which is OK, because you love your job.
I guess we take the bad with the good, and looking at the trade show diet, that is definitely bad.
Now what to do. For those of you who just read this and got a chuckle because you live it, great! If any of you would like some tips on how to eat healthier here are a few links. Good luck!

As for me, "as soon as I get home its back to eating healthy".

And don't forget if you are setting up a food show, all those goodies being given out at 10am and you just can't say NO as it is calling your name and you know that if you were home you wouldn't eat it in million years :) but we do it, because we love our jobs :)
