It can be more difficult to eat healthy
when traveling, but it’s certainly not
impossible. You can find healthy
choices when you’re away from home.
Part of the solution may be your mindset.
Avoid rationalizations such as, “I’m
traveling, so I’ll have to eat whatever is
available.”
Eating well on the road often requires a
little planning before you travel.
-If you travel by car, pack a cooler
with healthy foods, such as
sandwiches, yogurt, fruit and raw
vegetables.
-If you travel by plane, pack snacks
such as nuts and fruit in your carryon
bag.
-Ask employees at hotels or
conferences about local restaurants
that have healthy foods on their
menus, or that offer grilled or broiled
foods in addition to fried foods. You
might also ask if there’s a grocery
store nearby where you can purchase
fruit and easy-to-fix items.
-At business events, use portion
control. Allow yourself small servings
of some higher calorie foods so that
you don’t feel deprived, but eat larger
servings of lower calorie foods.
-Focus your mind on how eating
healthy will give you the strength and
energy you’ll need for your trip.
