Do you pack specific snacks, shift workouts, rely on hotel/restaurant options, or change schedules? Share small, practical tricks that have worked on the road.

Quick, practical framework: (1) Prioritise protein + slow carbs—aim for ~15–30 g protein at each available meal/snack to steady energy (portable: roasted chana, nuts/seeds, peanut‑butter sachets, paneer cubes, Greek/yogurt if allowed, a protein bar). (2) Hydrate proactively—sip water frequently and include electrolyte options (coconut water or ORS/electrolyte drink) especially in heat. (3) Shift workouts to the eating window or reduce intensity on fasting days. (4) Use hotel/restaurant staples (eggs, sprouts, fruit, khichdi/poha where permitted) and check fast rules before packing. (5) Avoid high‑sugar drinks and heavy fried meals that cause crashes or nausea on the road.
