How to eat healthy while traveling
[restaurant]Rawpixel/iStock The INSIDER Summary: * INSIDER SPOKE TO NUTRITIONIST KAREN ANSEL TO FIND OUT THE BEST WAYS TO EAT HEALTHY WHILE TRAVELING. * PACK HEALTHY FOOD YOU CAN MAKE INTO A BREAKFAST ON-THE-GO, and bring SENSIBLE SNACKS PORTIONED INTO BAGS TO KEEP YOU FULL BETWEEN MEALS. * AT RESTAURANTS, CHOOSE SIMPLE MEALS LIKE GRILLED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES, OPT FOR SALAD OR SOUP FOR A STARTER, AND SKIP DESSERT. ------------------------- Eating healthily is so much harder when you're traveling — especially when you're flying, and eating at restaurants every night. Nutritionist Karen Ansel (MS, RDN), author of "Healing Superfoods for Anti-Aging: Stay Younger, Live Longer," says it's not impossible, though. "Staying healthy when you're traveling can be a huge challenge since you're constantly eating out," she told INSIDER. Ansel suggests PACKING HEALTHY FOOD YOU CAN MAKE INTO A BREAKFAST ON-THE-GO, TWEAKING YOUR ORDER AT RESTAURANTS, and BRINGING SENSIBLE SNACKS PORTIONED INTO BAGS to avoid overeating between meals. Here's her advice for eating healthy on your travels. BREAKFAST "One of the best things you can do to offset some of the damage [of traveling] is to BRING YOUR OWN FOOD FOR BREAKFAST," she said. "Traveling with A BOX OF WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL can help you start the day on the right track. Simply portion it out into zip-lock baggies, and then buy A CONTAINER OF GREEK YOGURT FOR SOME ADDED PROTEIN." If you're having breakfast at a restaurant, be wary of fatty, high-calorie brunch dishes. "Instead of ordering an entree off the menu, MAKE YOUR OWN SKINNIER BRUNCH BY ORDERING A SIDE OF SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH A SIDE OF FRESH FRUIT AND A LATTE," the nutritionist said. SNACKS Prepare for hunger pangs between meals ahead of time by bringing your own healthy snacks. "BRING A BOX OF WHOLE GRAIN CRACKERS OR A FEW 100 CALORIE PACKS OF NUTS to keep you full between meals," Ansel said. IT HELPS TO PRE-PORTION SNACKS IN BAGS. That way you can leave some snacks at your accommodation and take only the ones you need with you — it'll stop you from overeating, and save you some bag space. LUNCH/DINNER Most likely, you're going to be eating lunch and dinner out. Of course, you should enjoy the experience of eating out in a new place — after all, you _are_ on vacation — but if health is your number one priority, you can always tweak your restaurant order. FOR A STARTER, GO WITH A SOUP OR SALAD. "Starting your meal with either a salad or a cup of broth-based soup can actually help you eat less of your meal overall," Ansel said. "They’re both packed with fiber and water, which help fill you up." For the main course, the nutritionist recommends choosing the simplest meals on the menu "like GRILLED CHICKEN OR SEAFOOD," WITH A SIDE OF VEGETABLES. "Just be sure to SKIP THE STARCHY SIDES like mashed potatoes, French fries or rice," she said, since these are loaded with carbs and often hidden fats. BE MINDFUL OF PORTION SIZES as well. "The average restaurant meal packs a whopping 1,205 calories," she said. "That's roughly 2/3 of the calories many people need in an entire day." Split a particularly large entree with your travel buddy, or take half of it for a packed lunch the next day. If that's not possible, Ansel suggests ordering an appetizer with a side salad. While she suggests SAYING NO TO DESSERT, Ansel recommends ordering a latte or cappuccino to finish. NOW WATCH: Turns out eating fat isn’t as bad for you as previously thought

UK current account deficit shrinks, but savings ratio hits record low
Latest data shows UK households feeling the pinch, as Britain posts a trade surplus with non-EU countries * Bad news: Latest: Savings ratio hits record low * Disposable incomes fall too * Good news: Current account deficit shrinks * Britain runs £7.4bn surplus with non-EU countries * UK GDP confirmed at 0.7% * UK house prices fell this month 3.46pm BST Over in Greece, there is more uncertainty after EU officials ruled out negotiations over the country’s latest bailout programme being wrapped up any time soon. From Athens our correspondent Helena Smith reports: Adding to the intense speculation now swirling around debt- stricken Greece’s ability to conclude fraught bailout talks in the coming weeks, the Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem dismissed any possibility of the review being concluded at the next eurogroup session on April 7. The Malta meeting of euro area finance ministers had been mooted as the next deadline for the impasse between Greece and its creditors to finally be broken. If Greece is to realistically conclude talks with creditors in time for massive debt repayments to be paid on 7 July, this needs to be done by May at the latest, insiders say. Any additional delay would reignite fears of a Greek default and unnerve markets. But the differences are manifest and myriad. The leftist-led government, which appears to have given ground on demands for yet more pension cuts and tax increases, is determined not to yield on what it sees as the illogical demands of the IMF for further liberalisation of the labour market. Energy reforms and the spectre of additional job losses have stoked deep disgruntlement in the ranks of the ruling Syriza party amid growing speculation of leftist MPS refusing to endorse the measures - and a government crisis erupting - when they are put to vote just before Easter. 3.28pm BST European markets are edging higher as we head to the close of trading, but the FTSE 100 is still lower and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down around 41 points after a host of US data. Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, said: There was plenty of US data for investors to deal with this afternoon; they just weren’t that interested. The core PCE price index slipped from 0.3% to 0.2% month-on-month, while personal spending and income fell to 0.1% and 0.4% respectively. The Chicago PMI then rose to a better than forecast 57.7, something that was countered by a worse than estimated drop in consumer sentiment to 96.9. But, as mentioned, none of this mattered to investors, who seemed keen to end the quarter quietly. The Dow Jones trickled 0.2% lower after the bell, taking the index just the wrong side of 20700, but still up from where it was during Monday’s ‘Trump slump’. Considering how soft the Eurozone’s inflation figures were this morning it is surprising that the region has been so lifeless. Perhaps the euro had time to prepare following yesterday’s weak German CPI reading, meaning the currency merely maintained its month low against the pound rather than seeing its losses widen. The flatness of the euro did nothing for the Eurozone indices, with both the CAC and DAX, the latter admittedly at a 2 year high, shrugging their way through the day. Continue reading...
