Whether your traveling on the go or around the
home, you don’t need to give up healthy eating
simply because you are on the run. The fact is,
healthy eating is even more important when your
trying to keep up with a busy schedule.
Having a good diet will help your body to handle
stress better. As you hustle about, a healthy meal
is probably the last thing you think about. The
following tips can help you eat when your on the go.
Restaurants
With tempting menus, large portions, and a festive
atmosphere, it’s easy to skip healthy eating. It’s
okay to splurge every now and then, although you’ll
pack on a lot of weight if you make it a habit.
When you eat out at restaurants, always be smart
about it.
Airports
An airport can be a very stressful place, although
you shouldn’t scrap your diet because of it. Eat
because you are hungry, not because of stress,
boredom, or to kill time.
In your car
Keep some healthy snacks in your car at all times,
so that when you get hungry – you have them.
At home
Evenings and mornings are busy times in most homes.
Making the time to eat can be hard, although you
shouldn’t run out the door without eating breakfast
first. Cereal with milk, a banana, muffin, or even
a bagel is a great way to start the day.
Anytime you are on the go, always make sure that you
make the right food decisions. You can take healthy
food with you if you need to, so that you have it
when you need it. Eating healthy on the go is easy
to do, once you know how. Never sacrifice healthy
food for junk, as your body will regret it later.

How do I continue to eat healthy(still have a bit of an eating disorder) while on vacation in Disney World?
I want to eat really healthy while on Vacation in Disney World?!
Can you guys help me with tips on what to eat please?!
Thank you so much!
If you have a kitchen at the place you are staying, that would be a big help. You could avoid eating at restaurants for every meal and overindulging.
If not, buy some apples, bananas and maybe some bagels or breakfast bars. Eat those for breakfast instead of going out. Each day, choose one meal to be the ‘big meal’ of the day. For the other one, just grab a sandwich and a side- an apple or coleslaw or baked chips. Then for the other meal, you can splurge a little more. But it’s still a good idea to split an entree with someone since restaurant portions are often huge, or take half of it back with you and eat it later.
Even though you’re on vacation, try to maintain a schedule and eat 3 meals a day. Varying your schedule can lead to eating at odd times, skipping meals, etc… Bring a health bar with you when you go out for the day in case of a hunger attack.
And don’t be too hard on yourself… have a little dessert- you’re on vacation!! Have fun:)

Eating healthy at Walt Disney is not difficult. One of the cheapest snacks in the parks is fruit and it is easy to find. Disney has goen health conscience and offers lighter offerings (grilled chicken, salads, etc) every place they sell food.
Additionally, table service restaurants, just like any restaurant, will fix special order items. Avoid buffets if you find it too tempting, but know the plates are small and if you stick to one trip to the buffet line you will control your portion size well.
Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals does your body no good. But, you may snack more instead of eating a meal. As I’m sure you know, many smaller meals are better than three larger meals. Portion sizes are large at Disney, so snacks can qualify better and help you keep portion sizes down. You may also bring your own food/snacks into the parks.
Stick to water. Bring flavor packages (like crystal light) with you if you need flavor.
You do a lot of walking every day. Miles worth. Eat your bigger meals earlier and keep getting lighter/smaller as the day wears on. You’re more likely to burn those calories.
Don’t deny yourself. Everyone needs a Mickey bar. Just keep it to no more than one a day (or every other day) have it early in the day.
Also, try not to clean your plate. If you can leave a little behind, you’ll thank yourself. Also, skip the guacamole, ketchup, mayo, and sour cream on items.
Really, it’s no different than eating healthy at home.

Go to allears.net and go to the menu section. As mentioned, healthy food is available, but it will help to know where to look for it. Every menu in the park is on that site, so you can plan your meals in advance and make sure you go where the healthy and appetizing choices exist.
Some of the sandwiches and portions are pretty big. I often order one portion for my wife and I and cut it in half and share. A half portion is enough to make me feel full, but leaves room for dinner and a snack at the same time.

It is very easy to eat more healthy menu items at Walt Disney World Restaurants. Every sit down and counter service restaurants have salads or vegetarian type dishes to help you stay on track. If you have any specific requests, you can always ask your server. Most restaurants will make entree items to order, if you have any specific requests. If you need help with restaurant selection, we always contact MouseDine. They are specialized in booking Disney restaurants.
You should bring your own snacks to munch on during the day. None of the snack locations are really healthy. There are a few spots that have fresh fruit or veggies, but pack your own healthy snacks. You can pack them in a backpack to carry at the parks.
Stay focused and continue being strong, even during your vacation. You can do it!
