8 Tips for Healthy Eating on the Go
Whether you’re taking Akavar 20/50 or not, there will be times when eating on the go is unavoidable. Learn how to make better, healthier choices when you’re options are limited.
1. Watch portion sizes. You have to eat a lot less than you think in order to feel full. Don’t super-size anything or consider even ordering a kid’s meal.
2. Try to eat at deli-style fast food restaurants where you can order a wrap or a sandwich on whole wheat bread instead of a greasy hamburger and fries!
3. Skip the mayo! There’s nearly 100 calories in just one tablespoon!
4. Most fast food chains are now offering “healthier” sides such as a side salad or fruit. Order one in lieu of french fries - you’ll be less likely to fill up on unhealthy items and it will provide some vitamins and fiber.
5. When it comes to chicken at fast food restaurants, the grilled chicken is always the healthier option - it has less fat and calories.
6. Make a habit out of eating a quick snack before you head out, such as a piece of fruit, yogurt, or granola bar to help you resist the munchies strike.
7. Instead of heading to a burger joint, why not stop off at your local supermarket for a quick bite to eat? Many have a prepared foods section complete with sandwiches, fresh fruit, soups, salads, and even sushi.
8. Avoid drinking a substantial portion of your daily calorie intake; instead, opt for water.
