How much food can I take with me?
Im traveling and would like to bring 3-10 pounds of chicken for the week.

I have never tried that. Why not just purchase these things when you get to your destination?

I won't have my foreman Grill and my digital scale.
Its just a one week trip, I know alot of pros take it on the plane.
Im sure its a check in, I need to know if there is a limit.
I have tried contacting TSA.

I wouldn't have a clue, keep trying TSA or do a google search. You can't cook it and expect it to last you for 2wks. It would spoil within that time. I still say buy it when you get there and estimate the weight etc.

The only reason for taking chicken like that is if you are preping for a show. other than that ull be fine

I wouldn;t worry about it....I take enough to just last me the trip on the plane and the time to get to the hotel...other than that you can buy and prep when ya get to where you're going.

I know while real food is better, you should look into supplements, rather thank going with the its ok mindset and eat "normally" with no idea of cals or macros.

Bring some oats...powder them in a grinder.
Bring whey, and many shakers.
Also, bring casein, or a mix (Optimum Pro Complex for ex).
That way, you can blend and have good nurtition.
And everywhere in the world you can have a plain chicken breast with veggies, or lean steak. The rest of the meals, you can do the supplements . Youll live.

Dont go with protein bars, ive read up on that and the nastiest gunk is in those bars, wouldn't go there.

Also, fish oil caps or flax seed oil and bring your TABLESPOON measure with you.

OR

You could bring CANNED chicken, and check in the bag, dont make it a carry on.
Im sure you could bring unlimited cans...but check anyways.
There bring condiments or buy your favorite condiments when you get there.

If you dont like any of these options and want to keep eating 6x per day, and are accepting a little slack from your diet:
Beef jerky, almonds and nuts for good fats.

Thats what I do.
Hope this helps
