4. Chipotle Is Totally Legit


Chipotle has exploded and become ubiquitous in almost every airport. It’s one of my favorite travel options, especially if you’re looking for a quick infusion of protein.

Just make sure you do Chipotle the right way (use our handy Chipotle nutrition guide).

When it doubt go with this simple formula: brown rice or salad bowl, veggies, pico, GUAC ON GUAC, and chicken (or double it, or do half chicken/half chorizo).

    As I travel a lot, I have been doing most of this, almost to the T. The only small difference is that I make my own protein bars to know exactly what is in them. Or, now a days, I will take the Clif Bars that are closest to what I make at home.

    Even while at the destination city, I will work out, and also skip ‘restaurant meals’ to the point that I will challenge myself on how many days of travel I can do without eating out. And, it has worked SO WELL for me since it is the UNKNOWN in the restaurant foods that kills the program / lean-it-up (pun intended) and throws one off balance.

    Yes, it defeats the purpose to be finally arriving at a place in life to have a “corporate expense account’ and ‘skip out on good foods’. But, that is a way to live longer.

    Today marks my 7th year on the home-grown-program that I picked up from all sorts of places, but mostly from Lean It Up, and I am at a 68.4 pound weight loss from 217.6 to 149.2 with the lowest weight being a few days ago at 148.6. My idea is 154, and my BMI is 2.1 now, so it is all good.

    Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for everyone at Lean It Up, and keep up the great work. We still NEED lots of people to be listening to all of you guys (us guys and gals) and implement. So, the road ahead is almost like solving world hunger when it comes to nutrition and fitness!!!!!

    Later…..

    • Hey Kenny,

      I’m so impressed with all of your hard work and discipline, that’s a MASSIVE change and improvement. You should be incredibly proud.

      I couldn’t agree with you more — controlling what goes into your body is such a massive aspect of nutrition. But don’t discount how hard it is to consistently skip restaurant meals and stay on point when you’re traveling, major props to you for doing that well.

      And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the kind words. All of the work I do here at LIUP is to benefit you guys, so glad to here it’s working for you. Keep up all of the hard work!

      -Bryan
