Introduction

It’s easy to eat healthy when you’re at home. You know where to find fruits and vegetables, how much they cost, and how much your favorite brands should be. But when you travel, all of that can change. You might have limited access to healthy food or see signs for tempting treats everywhere! In this post we’ll teach you how to make smart choices about what you put in your body when traveling so that it doesn’t impact your health negatively—and instead makes it even better!

Set a goal for yourself

The first step in eating healthy while traveling is to set a goal for yourself. Your goals can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. For example, if your goal is simply “not gain weight” then that’s an easy one and doesn’t require much planning. But if your goal is “lose ten pounds this month” then that could require a lot more planning and effort on your part.

Once you’ve defined what exactly it is that you want to achieve with your diet, then the next step would be setting a timeframe within which to accomplish this goal (e.g., lose ten pounds this week). This timeframe should also allow for some flexibility—if circumstances change over time or something unexpected happens like losing power due to severe weather conditions or getting sick from eating something spoiled during travel, don’t feel bad about adjusting accordingly! The point isn’t necessarily about being rigidly strict; rather it’s about keeping yourself accountable so that when things inevitably don’t go according to plan (as they almost always won’t), there are still consequences at stake: namely, not achieving whatever goal was set forth in the first place!

Resist temptations at the airport

While you’re at the airport, resist temptations and don’t buy anything. If you must eat something, get a piece of fruit or nuts from one of the carts walking around. Don’t buy food at any restaurants in the airport; they are all high in sugar, salt and fat. You can find healthier options if you wait until after security to grab something from a nearby grocery store like Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.

If you need to eat before going through security but don’t want to buy unhealthy food at an airport restaurant, there are still plenty of options for healthy eating! If you have time before boarding your flight and your layover is long enough (2 hours), then consider going out into town instead where there will be more healthy options available such as fast-food restaurants or supermarkets nearby with fresh foods like salads or sandwiches on offer—just make sure it takes less than 30 minutes to get back through security again before your boarding time so that they don’t make us wait outside while they go through all that rigmarole again!

Eat your meals slowly

• Eat slowly.

When we eat quickly, our brain doesn’t have time to realize that the stomach is full, so it keeps sending signals for more food. Eating slowly helps you enjoy your meals and feel satisfied with less food. It also gives your body time to digest food better, which can help prevent bloating and gas.

• Take a few moments to savor each bite of your meal in addition to enjoying conversation with company at the table or event you’re attending.*

Take advantage of your hotel’s free breakfast

First of all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you’re on vacation, it can be hard to prioritize eating well and keeping your diet in check. But it’s not impossible!

You should absolutely take advantage of your hotel’s free breakfast. Many hotels offer a variety of healthy options like fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits or oatmeal with nuts. Plus they often have eggs cooked in different styles such as scrambled or over easy so you can take advantage of these nutritious sources as well. Ask for an English muffin instead of toast if you’re craving carbs; avocado on toast is delicious too! This way you can get the nutrients from eggs without falling into a carb coma later on in the day (which could lead to a sugar crash).

Make smart choices when eating out.

Make smart choices when eating out.

When traveling, it can be easy to get stuck in a rut of fast food and greasy takeout. But with some forethought, you can make healthy choices at almost any restaurant. First, choose restaurants that offer healthier options like salads or steamed veggies instead of fries. Second, ask for a to-go container when ordering your meal so that you can pack leftovers for the next day. And thirdly, request dressing on the side and opt for oil-based vinaigrettes over creamy dressings—they’ll help you stay full longer since they’re packed with protein!

You can eat healthy when you travel by making goals, resisting temptations, and making smart choices.

• You can eat healthy when you travel.
• Set a goal to eat healthy when you travel and stick with it.
• Resist temptations at the airport and at your hotel.
• Eat your meals slowly, so that you can savor each bite and enjoy the food more.
• Take advantage of your hotel’s free breakfast, which will help keep your costs down while traveling.

Conclusion

The main takeaway is that you can eat healthy when you travel. You just need to make a few smart choices and resist temptations.
