Whether your traveling on the go or around the home, you don't need to give up healthy eating
simply because you are on the run. The fact is, healthy eating is even more important when your trying to keep up with a busy schedule.
Having a good diet will help your body to handle stress better. As you hustle about, a healthy meal
is probably the last thing you think about. The following tips can help you eat when your on the go.
Restaurants
With tempting menus, large portions, and a festive atmosphere, it's easy to skip healthy eating. It's
okay to splurge every now and then, although you'll pack on a lot of weight if you make it a habit.
When you eat out at restaurants, always be smart about it.
Airports
An airport can be a very stressful place, although you shouldn't scrap your diet because of it. Eat
because you are hungry, not because of stress, boredom, or to kill time.
In your car
Keep some healthy snacks in your car at all times, so that when you get hungry - you have them.
At home
Evenings and mornings are busy times in most homes. Making the time to eat can be hard, although you shouldn't run out the door without eating breakfast first. Cereal with milk, a banana, muffin, or even a bagel is a great way to start the day.
Anytime you are on the go, always make sure that you make the right food decisions. You can take healthy food with you if you need to, so that you have it when you need it. Eating healthy on the go is easy to do, once you know how. Never sacrifice healthy food for junk, as your body will regret it later.
It can be very tempting to abandon your good sense of healthy eating on vacation. Although you may
strive for healthy eating, it's easy to drift off and grab an ice cream cone here and there. There
are however, ways to watch what you eat on vacation.
It's easier than ever these days to request a low fat or vegetarian meal on airplane flights. If
you choose to instead drive to your destination, the quest to find healthy food can get a bit more
complicated.
Rather than simply relying on greasy foods for nutrition, pack some nutritious foods in a cooler
full of ice packs. Fruits and vegetables, crackers, yogurt, and sandwiches are all great to have with
you on the road.
Once you arrive at your hotel, you should do yourself a favor and turn the minibar key down - as
this helps to avoid the temptation. If your hotel offers a continental breakfast, stick to fruits,
cereals, and proteins. If your hotel has a stove or microwave, consider bringing your own healthy
food with you.
If you simply must eat out, do so only when you are hungry. Restaurants will usually serve large
portions, so be careful. If you do go a bit over on a meal, simply cut back on the next.
If you find it hard to fit in three square meals a day, try to fit in six smaller meals or snacks,
as your body needs fuel every four hours or so. When you eat out, avoid appetizers. Whatever you do, do not miss any meals.
When it's possible, you should avoid eating large meals at night. When your body gets ready for
sleep and slows down, it also burns calories at a much slower pace. Never eat bread before bed, and
make sure to avoid the butter. Choose fish or poultry for your meal instead, and include
vegetables as a side dish.
Even though it may sound hard, eating healthy on vacation isn't really that difficult. All you have
to do is use a little will power, and pass up foods that you know aren't good for you. This way, you'll enjoy healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle wherever you go.
The next time you go on a vacation, always remember that eating healthy is a way of life. You can
afford to get something you crave, although you shouldn't make a habit of it. One ice cream cone or a pizza isn't going to matter - as long as you know when to stop.
