Healthy Eating for On-the-Go.

Ideally, each meal and snack should have a carbohydrate and a protein. Getting in a vegetable at meals is helpful but not always realistic.

Here are some good packable choices:

• Trail mix with nuts, seeds, and dried fruits
• Sliced fruit and peanut butter
• Raw vegetables and humus
• Turkey sandwich
• Bagel with peanut butter
• Protein bars
• Yogurt with nuts and granola

If you forget to pack snacks or run out, check out SCAN’s recommendations for fast food options, such as:

Mexican

Burrito with grilled veggies and chicken, fish or steak

Fast Food

Grilled chicken sandwich or plain hamburger with side salad

Sub Sandwich/Deli

Turkey or grilled chicken sandwich with side salad or side of chili

Italian

Piece of fish or chicken, side of pasta and side salad

Chinese

Steamed chicken and vegetables with a side of brown rice

Bagel Shop

Bagel with peanut butter or egg

Finally, keep a reusable water bottle with you at all times and hydrate throughout the day. Sometimes, adding a few slices of lemon or lime makes it more appealing and easier to drink.
