When you travel, for work or pleasure, eating well can be a challenge. I know for me eating isn’t the problem, but finding a good, balanced meal isn’t always easy. Below are a few options, including my go-to dinners when I travel for work.
· Vegetables (you can never have enough)
· Salads with dressing on the side
· Grilled chicken or a small grilled steak (< 6 oz)
· AVOID: burgers, condiments, fries, soda, dessert
Sit-Down Restaurant
· Look for the low-calorie section of the menu
· Grilled Chicken or steak
· Soup (not a cream soup)
· Salads with dressing on the side
· AVOID: Burgers, fries, bread/chip basket, lots of cheese, cream sauces, dessert, all you can eat anything
Fast Food
· Grilled chicken
· Salad with dressing on the side (pick the lightest dressing they have)
· Kids meal (without the toy)
· AVOID: anything with LARGE or BIG in the name, fries, mayonnaise, anything double, triple, super-sized
Drinks
· Water
· Unsweetened ice tea. Use stevia or lemonn to sweeten to taste
· AVOID: sodas, shakes, sugary mixed drinks
