(HealthDay News) -- It's important to eat healthful, nutritious foods -- even when you're on the road.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers this advice for health-conscious travelers:

• Opt for a veggie burger or grilled chicken sandwich topped with lettuce and tomato, or a grilled chicken salad topped with a low-fat dressing.
• At a Mexican restaurant, choose soft tacos or a burrito stuffed with grilled chicken, fish or vegetables.
• Another option is a cup of chili with a turkey sandwich or side salad.
• Choose a veggie or turkey sandwich along with low-fat veggie soup.
