After years of endless record label rejections, Lainey Wilson is establishing herself as the next big thing in country music.
Wilson was always a picky eater, but touring with her bandmates has introduced her to new culinary experiences she's excited about. "I feel like I have a band and crew who are just really a bunch of foodies," she said.
Eating healthy while traveling and touring is a challenge, but not impossible. It can sometimes take a little extra effort like meal prepping, but Wilson doesn't mind.
Wilson grew up eating local and fresh crawfish, something she misses when she's not in her hometown. "Especially this time of year, I miss being home in Louisiana because it's crawfish season," she revealed.
It's easy to snack on processed foods and sugar, but Wilson is always on hand with her favorite healthy go-to's: almonds, beef jerky, and hummus, according to Delish.
Eating three good meals on the road isn't always an option, but Wilson tries and makes time for breakfast, which is usually eggs and bacon.
Wilson works hard at staying healthy while touring, but she doesn't deprive herself. "Even if it's just a little piece of candy, I've got to have my dark chocolate,"
For lunch, Wilson has a salad with grilled shrimp or chicken but isn't giving up the dressing. "I love all the dressings that are basically not healthy for you," she said. "The ranch, all of the thick mayonnaise-based dressings are what I really, really like."
