On our drive up to Sonoma for a race this weekend, we stopped at Denny's (slim pickin's along the 5 freeway!) for breakfast for some extra fuel, in addition to all the usual road trip snacks: steamed broccoli & asparagus, blueberries, apples, avocado, sliced turkey and some leftover steak (all kept in our thermal cooler bags and perfect for eating along the way!).
I still like to pop into all sorts of eating establishments to make the point, again and again, that you can find something healthy almost anywhere.
Score here: eggwhite & veggie omelette with a side of fresh fruit and mixed greens.
No, I'm NOT saying you should frequent Denny's all the time- just a little reminder that being on a road trip, or traveling, or being at a restaurant that is far from being known as healthy mean that you have to deviate from paleo eating. Be creative, flexible and polite with your server and you'll end up with a healthy, even tasty, meal!
Looks nice!
But why does everyone go for the egg whites and ditch the healthiest part of the egg?

I personally have NO problem at all with eating a whole egg; I sometimes just choose egg whites as I am not crazy about the texture of it. It is totally a personal little thing- and I certainly DONT want people to think that they cannot eat a whole egg!
Thanks for prompting me to clarify!

Wow this food looks amazing, I think the whole thing about eggs is you either love em or hate em. They have a weird texture that not everyone likes.

Agreed, I do have clients that simply dont like eggs, or other
individual foods, for that matter, but it wont affect their ability to follow TPD.
