(19-01-14) 5 Tips for Eating Healthy While Traveling

So here are 5 tips for eating healthy while traveling...

1. Prepare in advance
Most of the trouble comes from waiting until you're in the middle of an emergency hunger situation before taking action.
If you're on the road all day and you don't have any healthy options with you, when you come face to face with that convenient snack machine, you won't be able to resist.
Pack some foods that travel well in a small cooler or other container and keep them with you. This leads to step two...
2. Find healthy food that travels well
There are tons. Here are some suggestions:
cottage cheese
yogurt
celery
peppers
carrots
apples
Just think of any food that is relatively portable, can survive for a day without refrigeration, doesn't make a sloppy mess when you eat it and can fit in a small container.
Example: Throw some berries into a Tupperware with some cottage cheese and nuts and take it in the car with you.
3. Look for the healthy stuff
It's hard to come by, but buried among the garbage foods in some airports and gas stations are decent, nutritious snacks—bananas, apples, nuts, seeds, even dried fruit can be an option on the road. Look for these and stay away from the aisles of candy bars.
4. Make a list
Until you get good at this, don't try to think on your feet when you're in the moment. Make a list, in advance, of possible foods and snacks that might be available while you're traveling. You can also make a list of foods you can easily take with you before shopping for them.

5. Vegetable juice is a lifesaver
When all else fails, have a V-8. Fresh vegetable juice is always better, but in a pinch there's always canned tomato juice and V-8.

It takes the edge off your appetite and quenches cravings like nothing else around, and you can get it anywhere. (Note: The only drawback here is that canned juices are typically very high in sodium.)
