There are so many tips and tricks to staying healthy on the road. If you are unable to let NutriFit fix you up with healthy travel meals, take into account these tips:

¤ Request salad dressings, sauces and gravies on the side
¤ Request vegetables steamed, or request a lower fat alternative
¤ Ask the server to take the salt shaker, butter and chips off the table

¤ Order small servings
¤ Split entrees with a dining companion
¤ Stop eating when you are no longer hungry, take leftovers home
