Eating healthy on the road
Eating healthy on the road can be challenging due to limited food options and high-calorie meals that may seem healthy but are not. It is important to be mindful of calorie intake, exercise regularly, and make gradual dietary changes, such as incorporating more nutritious foods and smaller meals throughout the day. Tools like calorie tracking apps can also aid in maintaining a balanced diet while traveling.

- 91. Quick Tips for FastFood Lunching
- 92. Super-sizing a mealis never a good idea. You will consume excess calories, fat, and sodium. Many fast food establishments have combo meals on their menu. Skip the combos and just order the sandwich. If you can’t resist the combo, try replacing the french fries with healthier options, such as a side salad or fruit; choose water or diet drinks over regular soda. French fries can be very enticing. Just order small fries, instead of regular or large, if you have a craving. A baked potato can be a healthy side dish option if you choose low-fat sour cream. Fish is usually a healthy option, except in fast food restaurants. Fish sandwiches are almost always deep fried.

The leanest to fattiest cuts of beef are: strip loin, flank, sirloin, tenderloin, rib- eye, and t-bone. Skip the bread. Bread is meant to keep you busy while you wait for your meal, but it will add unnecessary calories. Stay away from fried and breaded (i.e. Chicken Parmigianino) entrees. They’re high in fat and calories. Whole grain pasta with tomato or broth base sauce is healthy. A healthy dinner will most likely be grilled, baked, or poached.
Editor's Notes
- #5 Try to keep these nutrients as low as possible each day.
- #6 Eating enough of these nutrients may improve your health and help reduce the risk of some diseases.
- #13 Don’t have that Snickers bar.
- #14 If you love your morning bagel, cut your bagel in half and try a protein rich topping like peanut butter instead of the high fat cream cheese.
- #15 Have you ever ordered a Grande Caramel Frappuccino? If so that can set you back 410 calories…and that’s even before you had breakfast. No need to switch to black coffee, just hold the whip and switch to a tall non-fat caramel frap instead.
- #16 After your morning coffee….stick with water for the rest of the day. We’ll actually talk more about the benefits of water a little later.
- #17 Go to Olive Garden….skip the 3 meatballs in your bowl of spaghetti, each of which packs in about 90 calories.
- #18 Satisfy your chocolate craving with a 90 calorie Fudgesicle rather than a 360 calorie chocolate covered ice cream bar.
- #19 At Chinese restaurants, have a cup of chicken with broccoli instead of a cup of General Tso's chicken, which contains more than twice the calories.
- #21 Take three, 15 minute brisk walks a day.
- #22 Spend 90 minutes of you day standing. It may sound like a lot, but simply stand for 10 minutes every hour. Stand while you are on that call, or have standing meetings (they tend to be shorter meetings too).
- #23 Get at least 7 hours of sleep (or more) a night. Studies have shown that people who are sleep deprived could be eating up to 300 calories more per day.
- #24 Going on a 40 minute shopping spree at a warehouse store like Costco or Sam’s Club can help you burn off an extra 250 calories and help you check off your to-do list at the same time.
- #25 This 5 minute Hotel workout will burn at least 50 calories and more depending on your current weight. Do this in the morning on an empty stomach for great results. Do as many push ups as you can in 1 minute. As your arms get more tired you can switch from supporting yourself with your feet to you knees. If traditional push ups are too difficult just start on your knees and go as slowly as you need. The important thing is to keep moving for the entire minute and get your heart rate up.As soon as your minute of push ups is done, hop on to your feet and begin a minute of jumping jacks. Don’t stop! Keep moving and make sure your form is proper. That means keeping your back straight and your head up while at the same time keeping control over your extremities. Refrain from flailing your arms and legs about you wildly.Lay down with your legs bent at a 90 degree angle (not under your butt or stretched out in front of you) and slowly lift yourself as far up as you can. You may get the feeling where – POOF! – you want to fall back down and lie flat. If that happens rest for a count to 3 and keep going for as long as you can. It’s only 60 seconds and you’re more than halfway done!Standing up straight, kick you knees up to your chest as high and fast as you can without losing your balance. You shouldn’t be stomping your feet so try to stay light on your toes. No matter what pace you maintain or how much you slow down, keep moving the entire time. It sounds easy now but on the 4th minute it can get tough. Find a good pace that works for you.Vigorous dancing in front of the TV or with your iPod touch on full blast is an excellent way to have some fun in the morning and burn a good amount of calories. Dancing around as silly as you want to be might also put you in a better mood for the rest of the day since you’ll be hard pressed to get your groove on without a smile.
- #26 Read Rather Than Watch TVSettling in at night to watch TV for hours at a time is one of the lowest calorie-burning activities, so why not make more of your free time? Instead, pick up a good and do some reading. Not only will you enrich your mind, but reading burns up far more calories as the brain stays active metabolically speaking. Since it runs off pure glucose, this means you’ll burn up more of the carbohydrates you’ve eaten while reading than when watching late-night talk shows.
- #27 Swim for 20 - 25 minutes. Take breaks if necessary.
- #28 Walk for 2 – 2.5 miles.
- #30 There are several calorie calculators online that will help…or you can do it the manual way.
- #39 You can also use the web to find out the nutrition information from your favorite meal at your favorite restaurant or fast food joint.
- #43 Fish is good for you, but it can really depend on how it’s cooked.
- #50 Most likely you'll share this appetizer with one to three other people, but the calorie total is still likely to be nearly 1000 calories per person, and that's before you've even started your meal. Not to mention that the total fat content is 134 grams, meaning that if you ate one half of the onion you'd have consumed more than your daily recommended fat intake for the entire day!
- #53 Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet.
- #54 So what if you are at dinner and have a couple of beers and then switch to coke. You could add over 800 calories just from beverages.
- #55 A University of Texas Health Science Center study found that the more diet sodas a person drank, the greater their risk of becoming overweight. Downing just two or more cans a day increased waistlines by 500%. Why? Artificial sweeteners can disrupt the body’s natural ability to regulate calorie intake based on the sweetness of foods, suggested an animal study from Purdue University. That means people who consume diet foods might be more likely to overeat, because your body is being tricked into thinking it’s eating sugar, and you crave more.
- #57 Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Also note that every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
- #61 Eat with others whenever possible. So think about this the next time you pick something up and take it back to your hotel room.
- #63 Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
- #65 Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day and then fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment—eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day—may help to regulate weight. After-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat and calories so are best avoided, anyway.
- #66 This is where your Eat This Not That book will come in handy.
- #67 The most important meal of the day is your first meal. Have a healthy breakfast that will provide fuel for you to start the day and stave off hunger.
- #74 Many hotels have free breakfasts or continental breakfasts. Let’s look at what to eat from the typical hotel menu.
- #75 While they may be enticing with their flakey crusts and buttery taste, croissants are loaded with sugar and fat.
- #76 Even though bananas and nuts are healthy, banana nut muffins are not. Muffins are full of fat and sugar; consider them mini-cakes
- #77 Oatmeal will sustain you with complex carbohydrates and fiber. Make it with skim milk or water; add nuts, berries, or honey.
- #78 The portion size of a bagel is very important. Regular sized bagels are full of carbohydrates, but few nutrients. When choosing a bagel, pick a mini bagel or HALF thenormal size. In addition, the average gourmet bagel can carry 400 calories.
- #79 Almost all continental breakfast bars offer fruit. You can eat as much fruit as you want; fruit is full of nutrients and fiber.
- #80 If taken plain, coffee and tea have nearly no calories. Add skim milk and low calorie sweetener.
- #81 Danishes and bear claws may taste good, but they’re far from good for you. They’re often high in fat and calories, which can leave you with a sugar crash, feeling hungry again soon afterwards.
- #82 Yogurt has protein and healthy sugars. Try adding some fruit and a little granola.
