Eating Healthy While Traveling

Monday, February 2, 2009

I'm currently on a business trip. Eating healthy while traveling is one of the hardest things to do. Especially when visiting a place that has great food around every corner. Here are some of the rules I try to follow when traveling.

1) There is no excuse to stop eating right. Otherwise your life will be a yo yo of eating healthy than not eating healthy
2) Choose at least one of your favorite restuarants to go to and order whatever you want.
3) Don't order appetizers or dessert
4) Salad, Salad, Salad - Usually one of the only healthy things to order at fast food joints or restuarants
5) Try to get a hotel room with a kitchenette. Cooking your own food limits calories.
6) If ordering something off the diet, split your entree in half and eat the other half for lunch.
7) Avoid unhealthy food cooked by family or friends by piling on the veggies and fruits and taking small portions of others.
8) Try to exercise/walk as much as possible.
9) Take snacks with you on the plane ride or eat before so then you only drink water on the flight and aren't starving when you get off the flight.
10) Avoid the hot chocolate machine at work.

Any more tips? Please comment.
