Healthy Eating Tips for Travelers
It can be difficult to eat healthy while you are traveling for business or on vacation but there are a few tricks of the trade that can help you make healthy choices. The most important part of eating healthy is to plan ahead and be prepared. Taking along a collapsible cooler or a soft shell thermal lunch bag will help you stock up on vegetables, fruits and water while keeping them cool and fresh. Wash and pre-cut your produce so that it is bite size and you will not need plates or utensils.
If you are travelling on a plane, purchase your snacks before you get to the airport and pack them in a thermal lunch bag that can fit into your purse. Choose items like apples or pears, carrot sticks, low-fat cheese slices for protein, or whole wheat crackers. The idea is to stick with foods that deliver a lot of nutrition for fewer calories. Eating natural foods, rather than processed foods, will keep you more alert and clear headed while travelling.
If you are travelling in a car and bringing your own beverages, pack water rather than soda or juice. Purchase water above all other beverages, but if you need a shot of caffeine, choose coffee over soda. The empty sugar calories in soda will give you an energy burst at first, but leave you groggy and cranky when the sugar makes you crash. When you stop off at a convenience store to re-load on supplies, buy the most natural items you can with the lowest amount of sodium and sugar such as fruit, dry roasted almonds or pumpkin seeds. Beware of granola bars claiming to be healthy but really just candy bars with rolled oats in them. Always read the ingredients in so called healthy foods like yogurt as hidden sugars can de-rail the best dieting intentions.

If you are staying in an AVE beach resort, your resort will most likely have a kitchenette in the room or a restaurant on site. If you do have a kitchenette, this will make eating healthy a lot more easy as you can keep fresh produce and healthy meats like fish and chicken in the refrigerator. AVE Beach Resort is conveniently located to most amenities, so finding the local grocery store should be fairly straight forward. If your resort does not have a kitchenette but has a restaurant, try to order a salad with your dinner as the salad will fill you up and deter you from ordering desert.
Whenever you are traveling, try to plan your menu options for the day ahead of time so that you do not make poor choices on the plane, in the car, at the resort, or out at a restaurant. Planning your diet for the day will help you stay on track and mindful of what you are consuming. For more healthy eating tips while traveling, go to About.com.
