\"\"<\/a>Everyone knows that it can be hard to prevent weight gain on vacation<\/a>. Between dinners out, hotel breakfast buffets and bottomless frozen margaritas, it can be difficult to prevent the scale from tipping when you hit the road.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning a pre-holiday getaway or racking frequent flier miles on business travel, start your trip off on the right foot by choosing healthy snacks and meals at your first stop: the airport.<\/p>\n

Between boredom and stress-related eating<\/a>, people tend to make unsavory choices when parked at the terminal. Here are a few tips that real travelers shared for Diets In Review readers who are clocking in miles this year.<\/p>\n

Erin Camin, marketing professional<\/strong>: “I go for portable & semi-healthy. Things that are easy to carry around or dump in my bag, like energy bars, bananas, or bagels.”<\/p>\n

Mark Hinczynski, pilot<\/strong>: “As one that travels often, I try to pick healthy foods at the airport, but often the choices are limited to non-existent. You just have to do the best you can.”<\/p>\n

Joy Jose, writer\/web designer<\/strong>: “I honestly try to make the healthiest choice possible. If I remember, I bring my own fruit, but sometimes I pick up an apple and a pack of nuts<\/a> at the airport to tide me over.”<\/p>\n

Katie Thomson, registered dietitian<\/strong>: “I definitely try to eat healthy while flying so I don’t feel gross when I land home or at my destination. I like to pick up Starbucks<\/a>‘ oatmeal for breakfast and maybe a bar with plenty of fiber and protein for the flight. My favorites are a Kashi<\/a> or Zone bar<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Pamela Farnsworth-Smith, interior designer<\/strong>: “My airport choices completely depend on whether my favorite coffee house is there. Ideally, I opt for a low-fat\u00a0latte and a packaged chicken, roasted red pepper and pesto sandwich. If the choices are limited, I try to pick healthy and opt for a salad from another food vendor.”<\/p>\n

Josh Crandall, real estate agent<\/strong>: “Sometimes when I’m at the airport, fast food (like McDonald’s<\/a>) calls my name, but I always try to avoid greasy, unhealthy food before a long flight.”<\/p>\n
