Preparing for Summer Travel

by Page Love, MS, RD, CSSD, LD

How well do you eat when preparing for travel? Take this self-quiz:

Do you tend to skips meals or allow long periods of time to elapse without eating before or during travel?
Would you consider packing a bag of safe goodies to take with you so that you can stay on track with your performance plan?
Do you go to the grocery store or stock up on perishable items once you arrive?
Do you put more effort toward drinking hydrating fluids and less caffeine and alcohol when traveling, especially flying?
If you travel over time zones, would you allow one extra meal to live by the destination clock?
Do you plan ahead for dining out when you travel? Order with modifications when needed.
Would you consider splitting a meal with a friend or family member?
Do you fall into the trap of feeling you don’t want to exercise because you are traveling?
Have you ever been able to let a travel occasion allow you to let go and normalize by following the example led by others?

Travel tips

Call ahead and order healthy airline meals options.
Before flights, eat a high complex carbohydrate meal (lots of grains, starchy vegetables, bread, rice, or pasta).
Limit high intakes of fat and meat (these have a dehydrating effect).
Drink more fluid than usual prior to flights to prepare body for increased risk of dehydration in-flight.
Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages before, during, and after flights.
Choose water, juices, or clear carbonated soft drinks on board.
Pack a healthy snack to take with you – see suggestions below.
Once you arrive, live by the destination’s clock and try to keep meals on schedule. Eat at least three meals per day, have plenty of fluids, and eat high-carb snacks as needed.
Continue to stay well hydrated and maintain your fluid intake.
Plan ahead for dining out. Use the restaurant survey guidelines when deciding on your choice and call ahead if possible for special requests.
