Got the phone, the steering wheel, or your computer mouse in one hand—and food in the other? Two-handed eating, when you’re relaxed and focused on food and your body’s fullness cues, may be healthier. By paying attention, you’re less likely to overeat.
If you’re trying to eat and drive, pull over. It’s safer, less messy, and gives you a chance for a brisk walk to stretch your legs.
That said, if you need “portafuel,” make it nutrient-rich instead of grabbing a bag of chips, a candy bar, or a hefty to-go burger.
- From the deli: wrap sandwich, sushi, sub sandwich, fruit smoothie (Whatever your choice, be sensible with portion size.)
- From the drive-thru: grilled chicken sandwich, regular-size burger (not deluxe-size), cup of cut-up fruit, carton of milk or juice
- From the bakery: warm pretzel, bagel (go easy on the cream cheese), latte or chai
- From the supermarket: baby carrots, whole fruit, small package of nuts or dried fruit, can of juice, milk
