The warmer weather can mean GO GO GO for many people! Whether it’s sports games, extracurricular activities, backyard barbecues or holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the spring and summer seasons can be overwhelming!
When your life gets hectic, it can become more difficult to stay on track with your health and wellness goals. When you’re on the go, grabbing fast food or gas station food or hitting up the ballpark concession stand seems extra tempting.
But, we’re here to help! We have a great Low-Carb On-the-Go Guide full of ideas to help you stay ON TRACK with healthy eating while you’re away from home.
When you’re on the go and eating out, here are some general guidelines to follow in order to stick with low-carb eating:
- Check out the menu before you arrive so you’re aware of low-carb options.
- Don’t be shy about asking the waitstaff for what you need. Either ask for low-carb recommendations or request special preparation methods or substitutions.
- If eating fast food, avoid the combo meals and order a la carte. Combo meals typically come with starchy sides. Choose side salads and veggies when you can.
- Avoid bread, chips, crackers, rice, potatoes, croutons, tortillas and pasta.
- Watch for dressings that contain extra sugar. If you are unsure of the carb count, ask for olive oil or oil and vinegar.
- Avoid entrees that are breaded, crispy and deep-fried.
- If you choose a burger or sandwich, order it without the bun or wrapped in lettuce.
- If you’re wanting a dessert, just have a spoonful.
- Take home food for a later meal if you think you’ll overeat.
