<strong>Eating</strong> <strong>Well</strong> <strong>At</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Convention</strong><br />
by the ACPA Commission for <strong>Well</strong>ness (2009) • contributed by Noel Harmon<br />
• Skip breakfast buffets, bring your own granola bars/fresh fruit/or packaged oatmeal you can prepare in your hotel<br />
room.<br />
• Scope out the food options before you get there! <strong>At</strong> buffet tables, scope out the options first. Make a mental note<br />
of what youʼd like to eat, before you fill your plate. This way you can get a taste of everything youʼd like to try and<br />
not feel deprived, but you wonʼt thoughtlessly pile all sorts of food on your plate.<br />
• Eat your dinner before you head out to the socials. If you eat ahead of time, youʼll be less likely to mindlessly<br />
snack.<br />
• <strong>At</strong> the socials: One strategy is to take a bite of an appetizer youʼd like to try, and then put it down. Youʼll get a<br />
taste, but you wonʼt get all the calories. Another strategy is to fill your plate with veggies and fruit first (avoid<br />
drowning them in dressing or sauces) and supplement with small appetizers and other low-calorie crunchers. <strong>The</strong><br />
third strategy is to choose only lean protein and low-fat items. For example, youʼll limit yourself to shrimp with<br />
cocktail sauce, chicken satay, or meatballs.<br />
• Bring plenty of water with you at all times, as the conference centers can be dry, and walking around can<br />
dehydrate you. Help the environment and bring your own container you can refill.<br />
• Ditch junk food like soda, candy, and chips that donʼt fill you up and can ultimately deflate your energy!<br />
• Itʼs OK to snack! Some things to consider when snacking:<br />
1. <strong>Healthy</strong> snacks provide fiber and nutrients your body needs.<br />
2. You can curb the feeling of hunger or starvation right before a meal, which prevents overeating. Snacking<br />
may help you eat smaller portions and reduce your calorie intake.<br />
3. Though individual calorie needs vary, your body needs fewer calories as you age.<br />
4. <strong>Eating</strong> smaller meals more often may help you stay on track.<br />
5. Try to keep your snack portions small and less than 250 calories. Spacing out meals and snacks can help<br />
prevent weight gain. <strong>The</strong> Nutrition Facts Label on packaged foods will help you figure the calories and<br />
nutrients that are in one portion size.<br />
