Australia is fortunate to offer just about every type of cuisine you can imagine. However when you travel it is so easy just to grab anything that looks remotely like food as you pass through airports and cities.
A diet of fast food can make you feel bloated, irritable and depressed, as well as unfit and lacking in energy just when there is so much to see and do.
Tips to eating healthy while travelling in Australia:
- drink lots of water (this is (mostly) a hot and dry place)
- avoid sugary fizzy drinks
- go for white meat instead of minced reds like burgers
- ask for grilled food instead of fried
- make sure you have vegetables with meals
- use cutlery instead of hands so you slow down your eating by having to use a utensil
- avoid fatty sauces
- limit desserts
Eating can still be fun. Try emu, kangaroo, crocodile and even witchetty grubs. No? Then fine French fare, hearty Tibetan yak or delicious Italian may just fill the belly and get you ready for adventure.
