Can you eat Healthy when you travel?

I just got back from a week-long trip and am way behind on myLotting, but actually, yes, I did eat pretty healthy except for a few treats, like a Napolean from the bakery. But I packed some sandwiches on whole grain bread and my own home grown sprouts. I take a sprouting bag with me when I travel and grow fresh sprouts as I go. I took nuts and apples and even some carrot juice that I made ahead and froze for the trip. In a week's time I only ate at a restaurant once and did not stop at any fast food places.

I eat and drink all the wrong things when I travel. It's like a huge treat. I'll eat a big breakfast when traveling but won't do this when home. Will also have a few drinks in the evening and that's not something I do at home either. I relax, enjoy and sometimes go food crazy when we are away traveling.

I have a vegan diet. I try to take some healthy snacks like nut bars, rice cakes, fruit jam and fruit bars. In the destinations I go to I buy food from the local supermarket or at best the health shop. Markets can be cheap for fruit and vegetables. In Lisbon when I was in Portugal I found an excellent health food shop but it had expensive food in. I found it easy to eat a healthy food in South Africa and Canada. Sometimes it is unwise to drink the local water or eat food like salad. It could have been washed with dangerous tap water. I made that mistake in Indonesia and then I caught a ferry to Malaysia. I was very ill there with a terrible sickness and high fever. I always take my vitamin pills. I have multi vitamin pills, iron pills, omega pills and Vitamin B12 pills. I drink soya drink but in some destinations it is hard to find. Surprisingly I have bought it in Bulgaria and in Samoa. Sometimes food is exported from New Zealand to Pacific Islands like Samoa. I have seen American cranberry juice in Belize.

I don't each much while travelling, only when stopping at bus stations where I would eat a complete meal and hot coffee in the morning or cold drinks at lunchtime. When travelling I think am not eating healthy food as I don't want to go to the rest room often.

I feel it is difficult because the ravel places vary from place to place and you may not get the right food you are accustomed to. But try to be adjustable and eat only that suits you and preferably less than the food you eat in the house. Some good fruits are also advisable like apple which can be easily carried while travelling.

Remember, when you travel its your time to be yourself to do what you want and enjoy the moment. It's not bad to eat a lot when travelling, unless you are on a diet. It would be hard to resist all those delicious foods served in a hotel or the delicacies or specialties of the place you are visiting.

In some places of interest it is difficult to follow a balanced diet if you have limited time and money. In order to keep my diet on track, I usually bring some organic fruit or muesli if I am away for short trips. Sometimes I would take soluble vitamin C with me just in case. If I have to spend in a foreign country for long period of time, I would spend sometime making myself familiar with local eating places and alternate cheap and healthy food. So far it works well and I always manage to keep my body (as well as my skin!) in good condition after trips.
