Tips for Eating Healthy Away from Home

Lisa Margolin, J.D., M.S.

With a busy schedule that may constantly keep you on-the-go, it’s difficult to find time to eat healthy on a daily basis.

It’s even more of a challenge to eat healthy while you are away from home, traveling for business or pleasure. Holistic nutritionist Lisa Margolin, co-author of ViVa’s Healthy Dining Guide, the nation’s most comprehensive directory of more than 2,000 vegetarian, healthy ethnic, and natural foods restaurants and markets, offers these tips for eating healthy while away from home:

Tip One: Start healthy! When you start the day with a healthy breakfast, you are more likely to eat well through the day with less snacking on junk food. Start at a local juice bar and order a fresh fruit smoothie with soymilk, have protein powder added and even nutritional enhancers if they appeal to you. If your plans are to eat at the hotel or a nearby restaurant, order hot oatmeal, and ask for raisins or nuts to put in it. If you eat eggs, order them poached for less fat.
