I travel a fair amount,
If you have a good expense policy: egg white omlet with lots of veggie for breakfast with side of fruit, water bottle. no carbs. great way to start day. in london, its often served with salad
or starbucks has a few good options: spinach egg white, large water bottle (or 2 water bottles),can add fruit cup, also consider protein plate.
i work with people that travel all their lives, at dinner, they always go with fish prepared simply, veggies, no dessert, reasonable appetizer (but doesn't need to be salad, can be the smaller splurge), no bread, lots of water. 1-2 glasses of red wine I'm not 100% on this but try my best.
lunch - if they have sandwiches, cut the bread. i'm not a no carb person, but reducing helps. no dessert
bring small size protein bars (you can find brands in 1/2 size), for that "I'm starving moment". If you can, swing by pharmacy or something to buy extra waters.
try to always book your hotel with a good gym - plan on getting up early as most gyms fill up by 6 am

Similar to the PP above, I try to focus on making sure I get my daily servings of fruits and vegetables. By doing that, I ensure that I don't eat all crap. Brining snacks for that I can keep in my bag (fruit, string cheese, pretzels, dried fruits) can sometimes - not always- prevent impulse decisions to eat donuts and cinabons at the airport.

Pack apples, bananas, oranges, carrot and celery sticks . Basically, things that travel well. Even if you don't have a kitchenette most hotel rooms have a mini fridge. Snack on those. Bring dried oatmeal and nuts. You can get hot water anywhere and get a healthy breakfast in. Lunches and dinners- focus on vegetables and proteins. Avoid cream sauces and cream soups and creamy dresses. Share dessert or abstain. Drink a ton of water to stay hydrated.

I go on about two business trips a month and 1 personal trip. What are your tips for trying to eat healthy? Obviously I don't have a kitchenette in my hotel room and go to at least one work dinner in some restaurant that is not good for me. How do I stay consistent? How do I get more fruits and veggies during the trips?
