I’m no stranger to long-distance flying. Every summer I travel with my family on a 12-hour flight to Israel. Packing food and drinks can be tricky, especially since you can’t bring beverages and space in limited carry-on bags. If you’re flying somewhere this holiday season, here are tips to keep you from starving — or oversnacking — on your trip.
Diners are a fave for weekend brunch or a late-night meal. The wide variety of foods means there is something there for everyone, but the options usually aren’t the healthiest. There’s no need to just settle for a plain salad or cottage cheese, however.
Pizza is a popular on-the-go lunch or dinner choice and a staple at kids’ birthday parties. I’m not one to resist a tempting slice (it’s my favorite food, second to chocolate), but I can enjoy one without overindulging — here’s how.
Buffets are everywhere these days — Sunday brunch, wedding receptions or the local chain restaurant. I just got back from a trip to Israel, and our hotel even offered breakfast and dinner buffets. Now, I’ve seen some clean and well-managed buffets before, but this place’s spread was definitely not one of them. Of course, it’s not all the restaurant’s fault. We diners can be beastly.
The classic steakhouse menu is full of gigantic mains and sides loaded up with butter, cheese and sour cream. Here are some basic tips for enjoying a full feast while keeping it sensible.
Are all fast-food burger joints created equal, or does Wendy’s live up to its claim to be “waaayy better than fast food”? (Sorry, but a bacon cheeseburger still isn’t a good choice.)

The food was all delicious, but I realized that I should’ve done more homework before I sat down to order. Here’s what I learned and what you should know before going out for a meal of Spanish small plates.
Ballpark food isn’t just about hot dogs and Cracker Jacks any more. Whether it’s the little league field or one of those new pro stadiums, food options have exploded (and so have the calorie counts). Don’t strike out — try these tips.
With tons of vegetarian options and healthy sides such as steamed rice and naan, there are plenty of healthy Indian options. But you’ll also find many fried and fat-laden dishes — just with names you may not recognize. Here are some common items you’ll want to avoid and some lighter alternatives.
This quick-service joint has been around for years, but Dana and I only recently tested it out. We’d heard they use free-range animal meat and fresher ingredients. We didn’t realize those would come in gigantic portions! That said, here are our tips for eating healthier (and greener) at Chipotle.
Yes, the holiday season can make you easily forget about your desire to eliminate the fat. Your suggestion - Babaganoush - is a favorite because of the parsley and tahini flavor but in more general terms, it is an alternative to high calorie contemporaries.
