Road Trip Healthy Eating!
Whether you're heading to a spa for a girls-only weekend or chugging down the highway in a car full of Disney-crazed kids, a road trip is the ultimate rite of summer.
If your only option is: A gas station or convenience store
A good rule of thumb: Filling up your stomach where you can also fill up your car and get an oil change should be your last resort.
Best Bet: Food stamped with an expiration date is usually healthier than anything that can sit around for a decade or two.
If your only option is: a highway rest stop
Best Bet: If there's a Starbucks, just say no to the scones, muffins, and cakes. Look for lunch choices like a fruit-and-cheese plate, pasta salad, or wrap--in the 300- to 380-calorie range.
If your only option is: fast food
Best Bet: Opt for a healthy salad with protein, like the McDonald's Premium Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken or Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad--each around 200 calories.
If your only option is: a diner in the middle of nowhere
Whether it's one of those mauve-and-silver behemoths with a menu as thick as a Stephen King novel or a little truck stop with a sassy waitress rocking a beehive 'do, diners have lots of decent choices--including dozens of variations of a Greek salad.
Best Bet: "Diners cater to truckers, so they usually offer breakfast all day," Bonci says. "You can't go wrong with oatmeal or a vegetable omelet--made with egg whites, if possible--and whole-wheat toast.
BYO: (food, that is)
Before you set off on your adventure, pack your car with healthy snacks that will satisfy the need for crunch and that can be eaten while driving.
