Healthy eating while on vacation can be a challenge. Who doesn’t want to indulge a little and experience all the local food favorites your destination has to offer. However a week of overeating can take its toll leaving you feeling worse then when you left. Here are our tips for truly enjoying your getaway and staying healthy at the same time.
Travel Snacks
Avoid fast food stops by packing healthy and easy to eat snacks. Secret Ingredient suggests:
- Nuts with dried fruit
- Peanut butter and fruit
- Granola bars
- Hard-boiled egg
- Cheese Cubes
- Celery and Carrots
- Mini Muffins
Eat a Healthy and Satisfying Breakfast
Skip the sugary donuts, pastries and fatty meats, no matter how tempting they may be. Opt for high-protein options that will keep you energized and prevent you from snacking or becoming ravenous before lunch time.
- Eggs and Veggies
- Yogurt and Berries
- Whole Grain Toast
Dinner Time
- Order simply cooked entrees without a lot of high calorie sauces, like fresh, grilled fish or chicken.
- Fill up at the salad bar.
- If possible, shop at a farmers’ market and prepare your own meal.
