It's hard to eat what I want to eat and be traveling.  I feel like I could have another 3 block meal before I go to bed here but there isn't anything by our hotel except for a hot dog place and that isn't really the "lean" meat I'm looking for.  As a result, I just had a handful of almonds and an apple and I'm going to try to go to sleep.

My feeling is that it is going to be harder to find good protein blocks on the road more than anything.  Fruit seems to be readily available and I can bring nuts with me pretty much anywhere.  Maybe I should try to get some canned chicken breast and canned tuna.  I've always been against canned tuna, but how bad can it be?  I would much rather be eating "Free range uncaged organic chicken that believed in God before it died" but work is work.  I'll look for good sources of protein I can pack.
