Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 You should have several options. At least in Britain, if you are in any largish city you should be able to find a nutrition store and buy protein drinks there. I found that shaking up my powder was really not optimum for me, but I'd rather have the protein than go with out, so I made do on one East Coast trip. You might also want to try the liquid supplements (I personally hate them, but two tablespoons is all you need per serving). It's been several years since I was in Europe, but everywhere I stayed had an assortment of cheese at every meal, including breakfast. I tended to stay at the hostel / bed & breakfast type places though, so maybe things are different elsewhere. At least while in Britain and Scotland you should have a wide assortment of nasty fish offered for breakfast (Blechhhh!). And you can always run out to the local market to pick up some cured meat or cheese to keep with you on a daily basis if your hotel doesn't offer it. My other favorite traveling companion is beef jerkey - weighs nothing, pure protein. Have a great trip! Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Going to Europe last August was the beginning of my undoing, but it was my fault. If you like eggs, breakfast will be very easy. Everybody serves what's called an " English breakfast " . It's eggs, sausage, tomatos, peppers, toast, etc. We stayed at a hotel that served breakfast every morning and there was quite a large array of cheese and meat proteins and they serve yogurt that is to die for. Unfortunately, their jam is also to die for. I was 8 mos. post-op when I went and never touched sugar, and got started on the jams and pastries there. And of course afternoon teas -- scones with clabbered cream and jam. Yikes!!!! But there are alternatives. They sell a lot of seafood, beef, etc. Can't help you with Paris. Took the Eurostar there, checked into our hotel, and I felt so disoriented we went straight back to London. My poor daughter didn't even get to see the Eiffel Tower!! Have fun. I'm jealous. kateseidel@... wrote: You should have several options. At least in Britain, if you are in any largish city you should be able to find a nutrition store and buy protein drinks there.
