Eat Healthy On the Go

We all lead busy lives-and when we're on the go-we're sometimes forced to make poor food choices. Here are some simple steps to eating healthy when you're out and about.

1
Buy disposable containers and stock up on cut fruit, vegetables, brown rice, beans and other healthy snacks to bring along to work, in the car and on a plane. I always have multi-grain bread in my fridge so I can make a healthy sandwich to wrap for the road. I also have jars of raw nuts and dried fruits that are great for snacking.
2
If you aren't prepared, you can always grab a 200-calorie snack bar (with all ingredients that you can pronounce-for instance Balance Bars are great) and keep it in your purse, car or desk at work.
3
If you need to stop for food, try to choose the lesser of the evils. Go for quality over those fast food establishments.
4
Avoid anything fried. Look for dishes that are grilled and skip anything covered in creamy sauces and dressings.
5
Always leave a restaurant with food to take away. You can have it for lunch the next day or as an appetizer. It's economical and helps your waistline as well.

Buy Things on Amazon Without a Credit Card

Concerned about using your credit card online? You can still shop at Amazon.com. Amazon is among the go-to destinations on the web-a virtual department store. It not only carries merchandise, but also provides consumer reviews and directs you to other items you might be interested in buying. If you want to shop at Amazon, but aren't interested in using your credit card you have a few buying options.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You'll Need:

Amazon account
Bank account
Checking routing number
Computer
Internet

Viewing the Payment Options

1
Sign in or create a new Amazon account. You can sign in or start a new account on the top of the Amazon home page. Simply follow the questions when you are signing up for a new account. Or just put in your email and password, which you added the first time you visited Amazon.
2
Find the item you wish to buy. You can view different categories. If you know what item you would like to purchase, you can search for it through the website's search bar.
3
Add the item to your cart. Then click on the "Proceed to Checkout" button. This is found on the right side of the page.
4
Check your shipping address. You will be asked to confirm your shipping address or create a new one.
5
Decide on your shipping details. You will have a choice of standard, two-day or one-day shipping.
6
Choose a payment option. This is the step in which you will be able to decide on the type of payment you wish to make without using a credit card.

Payment Methods Without a Credit Card

1
Pay with your bank account. If you feel more comfortable using your bank account to purchase your items, Amazon offers this solution. Click on the "Pay with Checking Account" option. You will need to enter your bank routing number, checking account number, the name on the account and driver's licenses or state ID card. For security purposes, your checking account number must be re-entered. Click continue to proceed with checkout.
2
Purchase your items with a money order, check or a cashier's check. Click on the "check or money order" option. Then click on the continue button. You will be able to finish your order and place it. Then you will receive an address where you'll need to send the paper payment. Before Amazon will send out the order, you must send your payment. You will have 30 days to complete your order before it is canceled.
3
Use Bill Me Later. This is a way to purchase items online without having to pay anything up front. Amazon and other online retailers use this method if you do not have the money or do not feel comfortable using your credit card online. The only drawback is that you will need good credit. Click on the "Bill Me Later" option. You'll come to a new screen. Enter the required information. This includes a billing address, the last four digits of your Social Security number and your date of birth. Agree to the terms and conditions and you will find out in a few seconds if you are approved for Bill Me Later.
4
Ask a friend to purchase an Amazon gift card for you or use their credit card to make the purchase. They can purchase the gift card directly from the Amazon home page. The option is located near the bottom. You can receive your gift card by email, printed form or in the mail. Once you receive your gift card, enter the code in the option at the bottom of the payment selection. Then click continue.
