“Preplanning and having healthy snacks at the ready are keys to helping you eat healthy on the road,” says Lisa Brown, RD, CDE, of BrownFox Solutions in Minneapolis and chair of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Diabetes Care and Education practice GROUP. Brown suggests fresh FRUIT, small CONTAINERS or cans of fruit (no syrup), fat-free yogurt, part-skim cheese (sticks, slices, and cubes), sugar-free pudding cups, nuts (any type), whole wheat crackers or pretzels, peanut butter, baby carrots, and 100-calorie snack PACKS (buy them or create your own). Also, drink plenty of water and no-calorie drinks.
