5 tips to healthy eating on a road trip

Do you pass the time on long road trips by pigging out on unhealthy snacks? If so, it may be time to reconsider what you pack. With proper preparation and imagination, you can take a healthy lifestyle on the road.

Here are some tips on eating healthy during road trips:

1. Know how long your trip will take so you can stock up on supplies.
2. Bring a cooler, and restock it each day.
3. When preparing sandwiches to take along, use whole-wheat bread instead of white, use mustard or horseradish instead of butter or margarine, and use lean-meat fillings, such as ham, roast beef, chicken, or turkey.
4. Bring cut-up vegetables for munching, and fresh fruit for dessert and snacking.
5. Pack plenty of water.
