Travel friendly ideas include roasted chickpeas, nuts and seeds, and fruit such as apples, oranges and bananas Pack small portions of leftovers and use them as snacks.

Take time to eat and notice when you are hungry and when you are full Eat without distractions, put electronics away and focus on enjoying eating Try not to eat straight from large packages or containers.
