Sounds just like small town America. From where I'm sitting right now I can see 4 fast food restaurants and a gas station selling a hot dog and crisps for $2. It's nearly impossible to eat out. I have to make sure I bring food with me.

do falafel places around you not have salads with veg, chickpeas, etc?

Same here. I have a cooler in the car that's always stocked with water and snacks whenever I go anywhere. Now if you were looking for a bar or a tattoo place....we got that covered lol.

Nicholaix, the cooler in the car is a great idea I'm going to start doing that

Yes...great idea,Nic...I have used a smaller cooler at times, but a larger one to support more than water & protein shakes sounds like a great idea....And apparently many countries have some REAL problems with folks having good access to healthy food and snacks on the go...including USA :(

dx9240 No most of falafel places just offer variety of sandwiches (falafel, fries , baba ghanoug , mashed potato ..) , and all conclude fatty dressings and unhealthy oils .
yea the cooler is a great idea :) i think most countries have this problem ! :/

healthy eating mostly means preparing your own food, and using a scale if you want to count calories. i always have an apple/fruit and a pack of mixed nuts for mid-day snacks (or some carrot and celery sticks) i only eat out on cheat days lol !

Trucking USA. I know all to well. Kwik trip truck stops ate the best,though. They offer health choices. Salads cost 2.50.....soi keep food in my cooler. You could spend a fortune,otherwise.

when i lived in Egypt, it was the same , there is nothing healthy to eat when you were out and about.. pretty much had to make my own at home to stay on the healthy side.. :)

The only restaurants I eat at are a local chinese buffet and a local mediterranean buffet. Otherwise, I make my own "to go"and I can tell you, my food costs about $120 a month - for just one person, me.
