For many travelers, it's almost impossible. Take airline food, for example. A spring 2000 study by online health site eFit suggests it's healthier to consume a McDonald's Big Mac, french fries and a strawberry sundae than to eat most airline dinners. Not so, says Bob Rosar, corporate executive chef for airline caterer Gate Gourmet Division Americas in Memphis, Tennessee. We're seeing a real increase in the quality of the food.
Airlines are more health-conscious than they've ever been.
Vegetarian meals or fruit plates often not only taste better than what everyone else in coach class is served but are also healthier. Bring your own food. Whether you're taking a long road trip, staying at a hotel for a few days or flying, consider a stop at the grocery store beforehand. Skip fatty items like butter, and leave the dessert where you found it. Don't eat at all.
