In Moderation After Dark

Ever found yourself stuck at a rest stop, staring at rows of fast food options and wondering if there's any hope for your nutrition goals? Fear not! This episode tackles the eternal challenge of eating well while traveling.

We dive deep into practical strategies anyone can use on the road. From the magic of pre-portioned nut packs to the underrated power of dried fruit (dried pears might just change your life), we share our go-to solutions that are affordable, convenient, and genuinely satisfying. Want to know which cuisines offer the healthiest restaurant options when you're away from home? We've got you covered with surprising insights about Mexican food (yes, salsa absolutely counts as a vegetable serving) and why Greek/Mediterranean tops our list.

The conversation takes some fascinating turns as we explore emerging food innovations like cricket flour protein and Japan's fiber-enhanced Diet Coke. Could these be the future of nutrition? We sample some unconventional options so you don't have to—though our $30 Japanese Diet Coke experiment might have been a bit extreme even for us.

Most importantly, we emphasize the balance that makes healthy eating sustainable, especially during travel. You don't need to finish that entire donut if you're satisfied halfway through. You can enjoy your road trip treats while still making choices that support your health goals.

Whether you're planning a cross-country adventure or just looking for better options during your daily commute, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in our signature laid-back conversation. Hit subscribe and join us for more nutrition insights that actually fit into real life!
