So try to cook as many meals as you can. If you dont have the means to do so,
at least pick up healthy snacks to substitute for some meals out, like fruit and
veggies you can store in your hotel room. And if you must dine out, opt for
salads when you can.
Minimize alcohol intake: This one goes hand in hand with trying not to dine
out as much. When we travel, especially when we dine out, we tend to drink more
alcohol. Whether were traveling for pleasure, and we feel free to drink more
alcohol, or we are traveling for work and we feel obligated to a have a drink with
clients or coworkers, the drinks can add up. If you can minimize your alcohol
