3 Tips For Eating Healthy On The Go

Eating healthy on the daily can be a true struggle! So how is someone supposed to eat healthy when they are always on the go? I’ve gotten this question often as a Pilates studio owner — my clients want to maintain their figure that they worked so hard for! So I’ve put together a list of my top 3 tips for staying healthy on the go because, trust me, I never stop!

One of the easiest things you can do is plan ahead. If you’re planning a business meeting or road trip, look up some healthy restaurants before you go! Do your research to get an idea of the menu for the healthiest options. The more you plan, the more likely you are to find a healthy solution. I personally always plan out the most trendy juice and smoothie bars, or if the city has a farm to table restaurant and I call ahead to ensure they can make modifications. (Side Note: I am finally ready to share my struggle with food and Crohn’s Disease, which is why I have to call ahead sometimes. Stay tuned for future posts!)

A few years ago, it may have been a challenge to find healthy snacks that you could keep on hand, but, nowadays, there are so many options! Think nuts, fruits or your favorite on the go bars! (Just make sure it doesn’t have any added sugar. Yes, they make those now!!) Keep them on you at all times. I personally always have organic raw cashews and dried apples with me, no matter where I go. In my car, in my purse, at the studio… I mean everywhere! This helps me from getting HANGRY… which is 100% a real thing!

Fuel Up on the REAL Food:

One of the most important things you can do to stay on track is to fuel on the right foods! Think plant-based proteins and fats. These foods will keep you satisfied long after you’ve finished them, unlike sugary foods or highly processed simple carbs that will leave you craving more just a few hours later.

I hope my 3 tips for eating healthy on the go help you as much as they have me.  I’d love to know what your tricks are for eating healthy on the go. Let me know in the comments below!
