Healthy Eating on a Business Trip

One of the worst things about business travel is that your routine is often interrupted. Whether you travel on a long plane flight or a train journey, you may find it harder to find healthy food to eat, and may even skip meals altogether. But with a little bit of planning, you can eat well, and be ready for your meeting or sales presentation at your destination.
If your journey is a relatively short one, try to eat something before you leave the house. If the journey is a longer one, you will need to take a meal with you. A pot of houmous with some crudities in a sealed container makes for a perfect snack, whilst a wholemeal or rye bread sandwich generously filled with protein (such as tuna or egg) makes for a nutritious meal.
A plane journey makes for bigger challenges.  If it is a short flight, you may be able to find a healthy sandwich at the airport. But on longer flights,  you will have to accept whatever the airline have on that particular day – in this case, opt for the meal which is rich in protein and carb, but as low in fat as possible. If worst comes to the worst, you can always take a few bags of healthy nuts and seeds with you, and some fruit, and munch on those, till you reach your destination!
