Let's face it, traveling can disrupt our exercise routine as well as our eating habits. It is very easy for us to pick up quick and convenient foods at airports, which can often be low fiber, high fat and high calorie. If you are someone who is usually careful at home about your eating and eat these foods occasionally, challenge yourself to eat healthy while on the road. Or call the airline ahead of time to order a healthy meal.
Most airlines are very accommodating.
Bring a liter of water on flights. Skip the hors d'oeurvres at dinner. Order two appetizers or vegetarian meals at banquets and restaurants. You are more likely to eat healthier and lighter at lunchtime. Bring low-fat granola bars, cereal, raisins, fruit, bagels or nutrition bars with you for breakfast.
