Hey everyone.
I'm on the road constantly traveling the US for work, any tips on eating healthy when sometimes fast food is the only option?

    I travel a lot. I stick to chain restaurants and gas stations that I've done research on and know i can find something healthy at. For instance, airports and trucker gas stations (loves, pilot) typically have hard boiled eggs, bananas, jerky, and nuts for low carb breakfast or snack. Dinners and lunches i try to stick to something like panera, chipotle, outback, subway, or others and stick to salads or meat and veg. A last resort would be a salad or sandwich without bread (no fries) at mcdonalds or wendys. Sometimes i actually eat better on the road. Good luck!

    places like wawa, and the gas stations that have the full service food options are my go-to when traveling

    Never thought about gas stations. Both of your comments are very helpful. Thank you.

    I'm always travelling and a veggie so it's a challenge! Nando's quinoa salad is my go to.

    Often times there is a grocery store behind fast food places. In the same amount of time it takes to sit in the drive-through, sometimes I run into the grocery store, pick a side (the deli and produce are always on the side of the store), and grab some fruit, packaged deli thing-sushi, wrap, salad, etc. and an iced tea. It helps if you can get something fun, too, because when you are in the parking lot the fast food always looks more appealing.
