Eating Healthy While Traveling

I viewed several websites that all had great ideas on how to eat healthy while traveling.  All the sites pretty much had the same tips. I made some notes on the key ones that I thought were a good, and some that I follow.

- When traveling by air, do not just hurry to grab food, and sit and wait. Check on your flight and its gate number; then go take a look around. See what options are available before deciding what to eat. Consider deli style food instead of the greasy burger – sandwiches, wraps, and salads are great filling options.

- Drinking lots of water throughout your day will keep you hydrated, energized, and prevent unnecessary hunger.

- Consider bringing protein and other filling drink powders to add to your water. This is a great in-between-meals option and offers a vitamin-packed choice.

- Vegetables of any sort are a good idea to try to include when ordering lunch or dinner. Start with a salad, or pick a veggie side with your meal; just plain to have vegetables at least during two meals in your day.

- Don’t forget breakfast, breakfast is a key component in how your day’s activities go. It helps prepare you for the day and gets your body started. If the hotel that you’re staying offers a breakfast, go for things that are high in fiber and protein.
