On a trip out of town, it is very tempting to eat a lot even at dinner, as well as sweet pastries like donuts before starting the journey. All of it can add a little energy, but it’s difficult to maintain health during the trip. With these little habits, we can keep our health no matter how long we travel. Here are six healthy eating tips on the go:
Bring your own snacks
The first tip is to bring your own snack. When maybe everyone offers a lot of choices, we might be able to prefer to eat apples that we carry alone.
Swap menus in portions to eat.
Try to swap menu choices with healthier foods in our meals. For example if we like crabs for main menu, try salad now. Compared to pizza or pasta in Italian restaurants, we can try the choice of fish with vegetables. We can also reduce the consumption of bread and butter simultaneously.
Do not order excessively
Just because there is a travel companion who pays the bills to eat or office that pay for travel, then we can order as much as possible without thinking about the portion and nutrition. Compromise with yourself. We can drink some drinks, but skip the appetizers. If we can not skip dessert, we can share it with a traveling companion.
Say no to soda
Chances are we’ll drink more than usual on group trips. So we better not drink soda, because one can of soda can contain about 40 grams of sugar (about 10 blocks of sugar). Replace the soda with mineral water.
Adjust to our request
Before traveling, we can tell a traveling companion that the cholesterol level is very high or other problems. With it we can choose snack foods replaced fruit compared with sweet cake.
Optimize the buffet
When the food portion is unlimited, it is very easy to pick up plates and pick out foods that we do not normally consume, which we consume. Drink a full glass or two glasses of water once you wake up in the morning so we are not hungry when we go to eat buffet. Before making a choice, check out the available buffet food and arrange our meals so as not to overdo it. Better yet, we can skip the buffet meal and order from the set menu.
