GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR" EATING ON THE ROAD"

• Bring your own snacks.  Fresh fruits, furit juices, crackers, or low-fat rice and pasta salads.

• Watch out for hidden fats.  Creamy soups, bread-type flaky pastries, mayonnaise-based salad dressings, and sauces in sandwiches.

• Consume frilled, baked, boiled, and broiled foods rather than fried or saute'ed foods.

• Order "a la carte" to get exactly what you want.

• If you travel by air, tell the travel agent you'd like to eat vegetarian.

• If you travel by air, bring something to drink on the plane with  you.

• If you are changing time zones, get on the local schedule as soon as possible.
