5 Key Travel Hacks from Nikki Lagorio
Know Your Travel Purpose and Prep Accordingly
Before packing, Nikki assesses why she's traveling (work, competition, etc.) and builds her strategy around that. Regardless of the reason, her core system remains consistent with small adjustments to suit the trip’s goals.Master the Art of Meal Prep on the Go
She preps protein (like ground beef or chicken) in advance, freezes it in measured baggies, and uses it as both sustenance and an ice pack. Pair that with microwave rice, travel-size sauces, and collapsible Tupperware, and you've got balanced meals ready in any hotel or airport.Always Bring a Food Scale
Nikki swears by her rechargeable food scale and takes it everywhere. Whether eating pre-measured meals or adjusting on the fly, her scale ensures she stays on point with her macros.Handle Fridge Fails Like a Pro
When hotel refrigerators fail (which happens!), she gets creative: styrofoam coolers, extra ice, and nearby Whole Foods for clean protein saves. Her tip? Ask for help and always have backup options like boiled egg whites ready.Pack Like a Competitor – Even If You’re Not One
Nikki carries extra ziplocks, plastic utensils, sauce packets, and even paper plates in her bags. This helps her stay ready for anything, including backstage at competitions. She even labels her Tupperware so meals stay organized and hygienic.
