 Map out a healthy-food plan before leaving on vacation. Don't let the road to a summer vacation put you on a crash course with an unhealthy, fast-food diet. It's possible to eat healthy no matter where you are.
- Take healthy snacks with you.
- Stock a cooler with cheese, pre-cut vegetables, yogurt and other good foods to munch on while in transit.
- Pack a bag with individual portions of low-fat popcorn, trail mix, energy bars, nuts or dried fruit.
- Drink more water. Avoid the sugar of soda and other soft drinks that add empty calories.
- Pick healthy menu items. Opt for lighter fare like salads, grilled sandwiches and wraps when possible, an option easier to do now that many restaurants either post or can provide their food's nutritional information. If you must indulge, choose small portions or share larger ones to help limit intake.
- Eat a good breakfast. Always start a travel day with a healthy meal to help balance out what may come later. If your overnight hotel room has a refrigerator, load it the night before with cereal, low-fat milk, yogurt and fruit so you can start the day right.
Check out the book Healthy Highways: The Traveler's Guide to Healthy Eating by Nikki Goldbeck and David Goldbeck. It offers healthy places to dine virtually anywhere. Or, for national restaurants, look at Eat This, Not That that offers options at many chain restaurants. And, Fitness for Travelers by Susanne Schlossberg offers a great deal of information about staying healthy on the road.
