Eating Well on the Road

Eating Well on the Road

July 17, 2006

Summer is here and that means vacation car trips. With smart choices, you can bring your healthful eating plan on the road with you.

Most popular fast-food restaurants now make nutrition information readily available to customers, both in-store and online. Before you back out of the driveway, review the nutrition information of popular eating spots you’ll likely pass on your trip. You may be surprised at what you’ll learn.

For example, you might think a salad would be your best choice at a fast-food restaurant. A quick check of the menu would tell you that some salads at fast-food places can contain nearly 400 calories with dressing and croutons … maybe more than you’d think.

Plan ahead and give yourself a wide range of healthful eating options, wherever the open road might carry you.
