Airplanes are a bit harder because of the limitations of the carry-on items, but I have been able to pass through with a fairly large amount of snacks. I try to eat right before I have to pass through airport security during the beginning of my trip. This is done so that I have the best head-start that I can and a full tummy to boot.
Food comprises part of authentic travel experience so the knowledge of a few simple tips and planning a strategy can be very useful. Drink Water
Water not only keeps you hydrated on your trip, it's calorie-free and will help you stay on track with your diet. Water with lemon can aid in weight-loss as well. Pack a slice or two of lemons in your next bag before passing through security; next, buy a water in a gift shop, and add your lemon that you packed to your water bottle.
Drinking plenty of water will help you avoid being bloated, flushing extra sodium out of your body and reducing water retention. Herbal teas provide another caffeine-free option. Avoid juices, soft drinks and other sweetened beverages.
Moderate Alcohol
Each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories, which adds up to around 150 calories for a 12 oz. bottle of beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine or a 1.5 oz. shot of liquor. Other alcoholic drinks containing added sugar or mixed with juices or soft drinks contain even more calories.. Alcohol can add unnecessary calories to your diet. Try to keep consume alcohol in moderation.
Bring Snacks
When traveling, routines may be forgotten and the time of your next meal be hard to predict. Keep snack portions of non-perishable food with you in case a meal is delayed or healthy food choices seem scarce. Granola bars, trail mixes, nuts, seeds, fresh or dried fruits and peanut butter provide tasty and easy-to-carry options.
Eat Cheap But Eat Smart !
Instead of eating out at each meal when traveling, find healthier options at the grocery store. Not only does this save money, it will help you control your calorie intake too! Look for what the hotel has for free options when it comes to meals. For example, I stay at a Holiday Inn Express when I go to the mountains, because they have free breakfast. Do I eat the cinnamon buns? No..., I eat the hard boiled eggs, the quick oatmeal and a 1/2 a banana. If you want cereal, go for the healthiest choice and use skim milk. If you have a refrigerator, take a milk 'for the road', or an extra piece of fruit. Breakfast and a snack (the fruit you took) are free in that example!
Wherever you are going or whatever you do, enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend! These tips are useful with any travel, so even if you have to work this weekend, use them for the upcoming Summer Family Vacay !!
