This Is What Hillary Clinton Ate On The Campaign Trail
Refinery 29 ^ | September 17, 2017 | Caitlin Flynn

Hillary Clinton's new book What Happened takes readers behind the scenes of her historic presidential campaign. Unsurprisingly, a large portion of the book focuses on policy, debate prep, campaign strategies, Russia, and (you guessed it) those damn emails. But the former secretary of state also shared her daily routine, including what she ate on the campaign trail.

"It's funny how much you look forward to the next meal when you're living out of a suitcase," Clinton wrote. After spending nearly 600 days on the road, she'd know.

Clinton started her day by ordering scrambled egg whites and vegetables from room service, and typically doused the breakfast with her favorite condiment: hot sauce. As she prepped for the day by checking emails and reading press clips, Clinton drank black coffee or strong black tea.

Plenty of meals were eaten on board her campaign plane. As it turned out, one of the flight attendants, Liz, happened to be a nutritionist who frequently brought fresh, homemade meals for the entire staff. Clinton notes that her favorites were salmon salad, chicken tenders with almond flour, and poblano pepper soup. "[Liz's] surprise smash hit was brownies made out of chickpea flour," she added.

Clinton and her staff also ate protein-filled snacks like canned salmon, Quest bars, and KIND bars for much-needed energy boosts. Her guilty pleasure snack was Goldfish and, after Liz introduced the team to Flavor Blasted Goldfish, they had a lively debate about whether or not this flavor was better than the original. (Not all debates are political, even when you're Hillary Clinton.)

Ever since she discovered hot sauce in 1992, it's been Clinton's go-to condiment and she puts it on pretty much everything. Her favorite brands are Marie Sharp's and Ninja Squirrel Sriracha.

Although Clinton mostly kept her diet healthy and consistent, she tried new cuisines as she traveled all over the country. She recalls drinking a gallon of lemonade and eating a pork chop on a stick in the 100 degree heat at the Iowa State Fair.

And speaking of Iowa, she has a favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids where they know her beverage of choice and immediately bring it to her whenever she arrives: a martini with olives and Tito's Handmade Vodka.

We all would like for Hillary to go away, yet posts about her keep coming up on FR, several per day.

"We would all"???

So, you speak for every Freeper now. Interesting.

When did you acquire this overarching power?

2ndDivisionVet, keep posting these. SOME of us enjoy reading stories about the Beast as she goes through her wither and decay phase - notwithstanding any comments from the self-appointed FR Viziers.

I’m not much younger than she is and I’d be ashamed to let myself get lazy and fat-and except for her cankles, she looked healthy and in proportion before the last 3-4 years-she’s been overeating, bigtime-dinosaur bones or not. I’d be surprised if she weighed less than 200...

she has been talking about hot sauce/raw peppers for her health for YEARS. She amped it up when Beyonce sang about hot sauce in her purse.

“After spending nearly 600 days on the road, she’d know.”

More lapdog media lies. She was MIA for 3 weeks at a time, several times, while Trump was hitting 3 cities a day.

If she was dabbing hot sauce on her food at every meal, you’d think that there would be dozens of photos of her doing it on the campaign trail while dining out.

How many chefs would be happy that nana is putting Vietnamese spiced ketchup on everything before she even takes a bite?

Did they keep a crate of these 2 sauces on the tour bus? Did any other people on her campaign staff follow suit and pick up her style?

Egg whites are not healthy by the way. If you aren’t going to eat the yolk, it’s pointless to eat eggs.

“I think we all know what Hillary likes to eat.”

Does it have four letters, and begins with an “H”?

She should try traveling in a van with a band to find out what it’s like to live out of a suitcase. I wasn’t driving thank God, but it was nuts going from Chicago back to NY.

If she eats such healthy food, why is she such a fatass?

If Elizabeth Dole had run for president and lost, would she hang around like post-nasal drip?

Bob would keep her busy.

If not with his Viagra®, then with changing his Depends®.

But at this point, the one to worry and wonder about is Liz Warren, not Liz Dole.

What's next in the series?

Hillary's bathroom habits?

Or her bedroom habits?
