Zepbound travel: boring fridge

Last month I stayed three nights in a hotel for a family thing, and I packed my own mini-fridge kit: two Greek yogurts, a bag of baby carrots, string cheese, and one protein shake for the morning. In the past, that fridge would've held leftover takeout and a big soda, and I'd have finished both while half-watching TV.

This trip, I ate dinner out wth everyone, came back, and had yogurt because it actually sounded good. I noticed I wasn't negotiating with myself at 9 p.m. - I was just done. The only weird moment was breakfast; the lobby spread felt overwhelming, so I took my shake upstairs.

I'm curious, do you pack easy snacks for travel, or do you let hunger cues lead and figure it out there?

I feel this. My dorm fridge is basically a tiny protein museum: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese singles, edamame pods, and those tuna pouches that make my roommate gag.

For travel, I steal the hotel ice bucket, line it with a ziplock, and make a sad little cooler for string cheese and a cucumber. Dinner out is my real meal, then I keep the room snacks boring on purpose.

Question: did you track anything on the trip, or just go by how your clothes fit? I’m curious if the mini-fridge kit actually stopped the late-night vending machine stare-down or just delayed it.
