Treat Yourself To A Healthy Morning
Commute
For busy morning commuters, fitting a decent breakfast into the schedule can be tough. And while
driving and eating is a recipe for fender benders, many people have to do it, or else go hungry. So,
if your empty passenger seat subs for a breakfast table, try these rules for a healthy breakfast on the
road:
Pass up the drive-through. While it’s convenient to stop at a fast-food restaurant, these meals
don’t score high for health and nutrition. An egg, cheese and bacon biscuit, for example,
derives 59% of its 477 calories from fat.
Bring along your breakfast from home. This lets you to control the fat and calorie content of
your most important meal of the day.
Store healthy nonperishables, such as breakfast bars
and packages of dried fruit, in your car so they’re
available on those mornings you must hit the ground
running.
Avoid fat- and calorie-laden foods that are easy to
grab, such as doughnuts, toaster pastries and bagels.
If you’ve left the house without breakfast and have to stop at a minimart, instead of a
doughnut and coffee, choose a banana and some yogurt.
Get a mini-cooler or cooler lunch bag so you can have healthy perishables in the car –
especially on long commutes.
