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....you know right from wrong.
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. Try to find the best possible option, or better yet, think ahead and pack your own healthy snacks. (I travel a lot and I always bring my own food). As a note, TSA does not allow liquids, but they do allow food.
In your car
Keep some healthy snacks in your car at all times,
so that when you get hungry - you have them. Trail mix or quest bars are my two faves.
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, or even a simple and QUICK protein shake will do the trick.
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.
