On the road a lot for work. need HELP with diet and excersize issues.

[ryan2022]

Hi folks,

This is my first post. Ive been weight training for my whole adult life, bodybuilding in the past, now just maintenance and strength to supplement martial arts training.

I'm with a new company that has me on the road a lot. Training while I'm away is tough, usually 2 days to a week at a time at the most.

I've always had a hard time keeping muscle on, and the added stress of travel, and sometimes working through the night doesnt help.

I just returned from a week away, and even though my diet was passable I feel completely depleted and wasted. My muscles look incredibly flat and lifeless, like Ive never picked up a weight.

I managed to eat 3 regular meals throughout the day, mostly either chicken salads or sometimes beef. I tried to fill larger gaps with a meal bar, with a balance of protein and carbs.

I almost feel like part of it is the late nights, and poor sleep.

Do any of you have this issue? Is there anything diet related I can change, or a supplement I can use? I'm a bit sensitive to most protein powders, but can handle rice/ egg, and pea protein quite well.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Ryan
