Order a grill beef meat WITHOUT SALT and a fresh green salad without any dressing or salt, you can dress it yourself with pepper, vinegar and oil.

Hi Cardhunter,
When I eat out I often have a grilled chicken salad with no cheese or bacon and dressing on the side. I also eat grilled fish if they have it or grilled chicken. I usually try to request no added salt, but that doesn't always get me low salt as some entrees are already prepared.

I think there are a lot of healthier fast food options nowadays ( Subway, Pollo loco, Chipotle grill, etc...). You just have to have it in your will to stay away from all the bad stuff.

I think the best way to eat right on the road is the same principal when your at home. Plan ahead and be organized. Hit up a health food store and load up on fruits and veggies. Also grab a bunch of healthy snacks so you're never starving, especially if you hit up one of those famous Vegas buffets.

I was just in Vegas for a conference a few days ago- went for Thai food one night- got a vegetarian curry dish, also had salad w chicken (as others have recommended), and a turkey Subway sandwich at the airport (as Louie mentioned). I try to go to Trader Joes and get healthy snack bars and mini packs of nuts w dried fruits to bring when traveling. Also martinis w oliives for HDL's and MUFA's, but take that last suggestion w a grain of salt (or is that margaritas?!). By the way, I doi agree that its harder to eat on the road. I also am happy that Mickey D's has healthy choices now like their fruit smootrhies, oatmeal, and gfrilled honey mustard snack wraps. Good luck at the tables!

YOU all seem to be doing great! I got ideas from you posting thank you for that. Just wanted to fyi you all.

Salt is the hardest to limit//
I like eating salad without dressing on my salads and use viregar oil too.

I don't travel but have simular problems wihen you have a family to feed too. They don't like the limits of my diets. I eat my own food and they eat theirs...is what so far I've been doing.

I know not much help for you. I do try to eat healthly when I can.

I just notice that Carl's Jr has trukey burgers and a few other foods now.
They just open up near us...they are fast food if you live where you never heard of them.
They are also with Hardee's fast food some other areas.

They have a few other things if I peal off the crispti cover they put on the veg. then I eat them too....

Thank you for the subject.

good luck with your cards...or should I say break a leg?

Thanks Bee some times
i think playing poker is what made me have a heart attack . however i fine it vary hard to eat right when im not at home but im learning .

You feel playing poker for a living caused your heart attack, cardhunter? It does seem possible that the stress of playing poker contributed, just like I'm quite sure that job stress was a MAJOR contributer of my heart attack. I had to make quite a few changes regarding my work life when I returned to work afterwards, and so far, they seem to have helped. In addition to trying to change your eating while on the road, have you been making other changes to cope with your particular job stress?
