Eating better on a business trip

I think I may have covered this before but I am struggling with my eating this week as I am on a short business trip.

Yesterday I started my eating easily enough and left town before lunch to do some computer work in Winnipeg. I didn’t eat again until almost 9:30 at night and even then it was chicken strips at the hotel lounge (high protein, low carbs, still does not make up for the grease).

Today I tried to get back on track but with an empty backpack I had a breakfast bagel at the Winnipeg airport , a sandwich at lunch and Tim Hortons chili and a bun for dinner in London Ontario, but, missing were all of the snacks that keep my metabolism up, at least I got some exercise today.

Getting out of your schedule is always difficult as you may be able to eat, you may be able to exercise but getting that rhythm thrown off will usually force you to sacrifice doing what you should be.

Don’t be like me, plan your days even when out of town. I may not be able to bring liquids on the plane because of airport security but I could have easily brought food and made a plan for what I would buy when. Also it is pretty easy to buy lots of water at your destination (like I did in Disneyland a couple weeks back) and protein bars do not take much room and are a great way to get between meal snacks in.

How is Erectile Dysfunction treated?

The usual first step in treating Erectile Dysfunction is to check whether the problem is the result of a medication side effect. If so, there may be a different drug that can be prescribed that won’t result in Erectile Dysfunction.

Psychotherapy and behaviour modification may be considered next in some people. If these measures are not enough to resolve the problem, there are some medications that can be prescribed.

Medications for Erectile Dysfunction

How is Erectile Dysfunction treated?Medications are not the only treatment choices for men seeking help for Erectile Dysfunction. One option is a mechanical vacuum device that causes an erection by creating a partial vacuum that draws blood into the penis.

These devices have three components: a plastic cylinder the man places his penis in, a pump that draws air out of the cylinder to create the vacuum that pulls blood into the penis, and an elastic band that is placed around the base of the erect penis before it is withdrawn from the cylinder.

The band keeps the blood from leaving the penis, allowing the man to maintain the erection.

Beans Bean the fiberous fruit

I have a couple of cans of Beans here in front of me and it is interesting in looking at them just how much fiber and protein that they contain. One thing to remember is that the fiber in beans does not have a very balanced amino acid profile but the fact is that you can compliment the amino acids with some corn. If you are ready here are the numbers:

Heinz Deep Brown Beans in Tomato Sauce
1 Cup
4 grams fat
62 grams carbohydrates
14 grams protein
14 grams fiber

No Name Six Bean Blend (for making chili)
1 Cup
2 grams fat
44 grams carbohydrates
15 grams protein
10 grams fiber

As you can see both of these cans of beans are high in both fiber and protein. In my house when we make chili we always add corn to it and the deep brown beans? They are another side dish for us. The added advantage of having canned beans is that they are cheap to buy so it will not empty your wallet to eat well.
