The 34-year-old has turned his nose up at the local cuisine in his North American stay while he works as an ITV pundit and commentator.
In his World Cup Diaries series, Townsend said: “Everybody wants to be healthy until it becomes inconvenient.

“I cooked a steak from my Airbnb in the US, packed it in this cooler bag with some ice, and took it on the plane.
“I bought six cans of sardines and I’m eating two each day.
“Packed a bone broth and finally I grabbed six hard-boiled eggs from the restaurant in the hotel.
“I’m getting the complete protein and all nine essential amino acids from the egg and the steak. I’m getting my omega-3 from my sardines. And I’m getting my collagen from the bone broth.

“Still getting 150 grams to 200 grams of protein while I’m here.
“Is it perfect? No, but it’s a lot better than using being away from home as an excuse to eat ultra-processed foods and seed oils all week.
“You can always find a reason why you can’t or you can find a way.”

One wrote: “I would just gone on Uber eats but fair play.”
Another added: “Top mindset Andros!”
Someone else said: “Gets some tacos boss your on holiday.”
While others were keen for more similar content, with one even asking for his bread recipe.
