1. Pack snacks
Packing snacks and planning ahead can spare you unnecessary calories. If you skip meals, your metabolism will slow down and you will feel much hungrier later in the day. If you're on a road trip or going on a plane, throw a snack in your bag! It can be something as easy as a cereal bar or a Ziplock bag full of fruit.
2. Don't drink all of your calories
It is easy to overindulge with milkshakes, fancy coffees, or other sugary drinks. These calories can add up without you even realizing it.
3. Remember to drink water
Particularly while traveling or on vacation, it is easy to forget this simple healthy habit. Plan ahead and bring a water bottle on your trip as a reminder to stay hydrated!
4. Check online menus
Many restaurants now offer menus online that detail calories and other nutrition facts. Even when going out to eat, you can make an informed decision to stay healthy.
5. Indulge in moderation!
Even if you are adamant on a healthy lifestyle, it's important to indulge every once in a while. If you are on vacation for a week, you could decide to have one "treat" every day. Whether you want a blended coffee drink in the morning or a dessert with dinner, just remember portion control.
