Tips to tackle eating on the go!
1 Planning to be on the go for several hours? Eat something satisfying first so you don’t find yourself hungry and reaching for junk
2 Pack a snack,or several Perfect Bars, RX Bars, Bullet Proof Bars Jerky, Epic bars Dried Mangos, Plantain Chips Nut Butter, Trail Mix Bananas, Apples, Oranges, Berries High-quality dark chocolate. Instant Oatmeal Packets Granola Raw Veggies Rice Cakes Deli Meat Greek Yogurt Hard-Boiled Eggs Protein Shake

Drive-Through Dos
Eat right on the run with these smart strategies.
Don’t fall for health halos. Some veggie dishes pack nearly 1,000 calories, while a burger may have as few as 250. Read the nutrition facts before you order.
Look beyond the main menu. Pint-size portions on the kids’ menu can save you calories, and the Dunkin’ Donuts all-day breakfast menu has many nutritious picks. Panera has a secret menu with healthy egg-white bowls and a steak lettuce wrap.
Go skinny-dipping. Not all condiments are created equal. A ketchup packet has only 10 calories, but those cute little packages of honey mustard and barbecue sauce contain 60 calories and 50 calories, respectively.
