It can be very tough to find good food while traveling, and making sure I eat healthy on the road. To do so, requires a little planning and a little extra time.

I had a four hour car journey today, so to make sure I could control what I ate, I packed food from home to eat on the go.  This helped me avoid the usual ‘fast food’ available at roadside rest areas.  I was also able to pack plenty of water to drink.

This evening I will at an event in a large stadium. Most food options within the stadium are also not very healthy.  To combat this option, I purchased a salad from a small store near my hotel.  I will take this with me to the stadium, and eat it in my car, just before going in.  This should get me through the evening, and help me avoid hot dogs and burgers.

Luckily, the stadium allows attendees to bring a plastic water bottle with them, and there are water dispensing stations that will let me fill it up.  I might succumb to one beer while there, but the water will help me avoid all the sugary sodas.

I am looking forward to this evening and am especially glad that I will avoid eating badly.  Looks like I will do OK with eating healthy on the road, this time around.
