Try 7 Low Carbs when you are Traveling and Reset when You Get Home
/
Eating healthy when you’re traveling can be a challenge. Airport food courts aren’t exactly known for their sterling nutritional reputations and airplane pretzels bust the carb count. To take the pain out of scouring menus or eating only iceberg lettuce, we’ve compiled a list of our go-to low carb snacks to grab when you’re on the run.
Nuts
We love nuts! Not all nuts are created equal in low-carb land though. Almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, and walnuts are full of proteins and omegas to keep you going.
Kale
The kale craze of recent years has meant there is an abundance of pre-packaged kale chips ready and waiting for your next trip. These crispy critters can satisfy your need for crunch while being both nutritious and delicious.
Cheese
String cheese is not a kid’s food. Neither are the mini gouda rounds or individually packaged sharp cheddars. This is travel food at its finest!

Meats
Sometimes you need a bit of meat — especially if you’re looking to up your iron and protein intake. Keep an eye out for cold cuts, beef jerky, and pepperoni when perusing the in-terminal snack stands. Just make sure to check the label for added sugar and high levels of sodium.
Hard-boiled eggs
Super portable and full of protein to stave off your hunger, an egg may well be the perfect travel snack. A little salt and pepper to spice things up and you’re in business.
