Eat healthfully on a trip

◆张蕊

When you’re on vacation, the temptations to overdo the eating and drinking are everywhere, said the New York-based nutritionist Joy Bauer.After all, the specialties of your destination, the buffet(自助餐) breakfast at your hotel and treats are always at the ready.

But Ms Bauer said that a sensible diet doesn’t have to and shouldn’t fall by the wayside when on vacation.“Overindulging(过分放纵) will leave you feeling lazy and likely with a few extra pounds, but if you know how to eat smartly, you can still eat enjoyably,” she said.

Below, Ms Bauer’s tips on eating healthfully, yet pleasurably, on the next getaway.

Travel with food

As a frequent traveler herself, Ms Bauer never leaves home without a stash of healthy snacks and advised other travelers to do the same.“When you have food handy that you like eating, you’re far less likely to grab something unhealthy,” she said.Options include whole fruit such as apples, nuts already portioned in 1/4-cup serving sizes, pumpkin seeds and roasted edamame(日本毛豆).(Or, consider Ms Bauer’s line of granola bites, called Nourish.)________①____________

Eat healthfully on a trip

Fast-food restaurants abound at airports and at highway rest stops, and Ms Bauer said that they’re not off-limits so long as you order the right foods.Choose a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato (hold the mayo) and a side salad.If you enjoy hamburgers, order a single patty, and top it with extra lettuce and tomatoes.Can’t resist French fries? Order the smallest size, and eat half.

________②____________

Ms Bauer also said that several fast-food chains offer fruit-topped oatmeal and yogurt parfaits that make for satisfying and tasty snacks.________③____________

When in Rome, splurge strategically

Trying the local cuisine, Ms Bauer said, is a pleasurable part of any vacation.“You can and should let yourself enjoy one ‘cheat’ food each day, but be selective and pick something that is unique to that destination,” she said.That could mean veal Milanese in Milan, a lobster roll in Maine, a chocolate croissant(巧克力羊角包) in France and pad thai(泰式炒河粉) in Thailand.Stick to a reasonable portion of whatever you choose, and savor every bite.

________④____________

Watch those sips

Drinks don’t fill you up, and many are packed with sugar and calories.Ms Bauer said that it’s best to skip sweetened iced teas and lemonades throughout the day—seltzer flavored with fruit is an appealing alternative.When it comes to alcohol, many cocktails, including margaritas, can easily top 500 calories.Drink wine or a light beer instead.Or try a lower-sugar mixed drink such as vodka(伏特加) with club soda and a splash of fruit juice or a gin and tonic（金汤力酒）.

长难句分析

1.If you enjoy hamburgers, order a single patty, and top it with extra lettuce and tomatoes.如果你喜欢汉堡，就点一个小肉饼，上面多放点儿生菜和番茄。

这是个复合句。If引导条件状语从句，主句是两个并列的祈使句。其中top“形成顶部”可以理解为“多放点”。例如：He topped his father by half a head.他比他父亲高出半个头。He tops the rest in scholarship.他的学识超过其他人。

2.When it comes to alcohol, many cocktails, including margaritas, can easily top 500 calories.至于酒，包括玛格丽特在内的许多鸡尾酒很容易就会超过500卡路里。

这是个复合句。When it comes to...是个句型，意思是“当谈到……”，其中to是介词，后面的动词用动名词形式。例如：

1.When it comes to dancing, I’m all thumbs.谈到跳舞，我真是一窍不通。

2.When it comes to ______ in public, no one can match him.(C)

A.speak B.being spoken C.speaking D.being speaking
