Have a hard time keeping healthy habits when on the road?  Here are some tips to help!

• Don’t leave hungry, or you’ll be much more likely to make poor food choices.   By having quick options readily available on the road you will be much more likely to stay on track.  Try to pack raw nuts, raw vegetables, healthy crackers, cereals etc.  You can also buy some fresh produce once you reach your destination by finding a grocery store once you arrive. 
•  When you reach your destination, look for healthy food options in or near your hotel. When you’re pressed for time, you’ll be less likely to run to the closest fast-food restaurant if you know there’s a cafe with healthy salads and sandwiches right around the corner.
• Don’t think of traveling as a break from your regular life and healthy eating habits.
•  When eating out, most of the dangers lie in sauces and dressings. Avoid sauces, or at least ask for them on the side if an ingredient list isn’t readily available.  Sauces tend to be where most sugars are added to a meal. 

·         Drinking plenty of water will also help fill you up and keep you from feeling fatigued.

·         Don’t forget to exercise.  Most hotels have fitness facilities and a quick workout, even just some time walking on the treadmill, will speed up your metabolism and give you energy for the things you need to accomplish in the day.
