Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Tribole, a registered nutritionist, gears this book to the young professional who has little time to cook nutritious, healthy meals. She believes in making the most of adversity and comes up with inspired suggestions for snacking. Her theory is that a snack every two hours during the day will fulfill daily requirements for vitamins and nutrients from the four basic food groups. The snacks can be as simple as orange juice and a bagel or as interesting as curried chicken celery on pita. Tribole also discusses the pluses and minuses of fast food, advises on weight loss for people on the go, talks about disease prevention and offers hints on nutrition for athletes.

Product Description
Registered dietician, Evelyn Tribole, explains how to choose healthy, nutritious meals and snacks, even for people who are pressed for time. "Eating on the Run" is a survival guide for everyone who is too busy to cook and eat traditional meals. "Eating on the Run" gives readers the nutrition information they need to make healthy eating choices and beat the clock. The current edition includes information on: what to avoid, the worst convenience foods, fatty frozen meals, healthy sounding fat traps, fattiest fast foods; the best bets in fast foods, frozen dinners and breakfasts, deli sandwiches, children's meals and ethnic food; 40 meals that take one minute or less to prepare; coping with power meals and happy hour worries; snacks for the briefcase, desk drawer and workplace fridge; snacks worth grazing on; nutritional data for more than 400 fast food items and 120 brand-name frozen "light" meals; and a whole week of menus that involve no cooking, complete with grocery list. Evelyn Tribole stresses that the most important thing is to make progress with a nutrition programme. No one has to scrutinise every bite they eat; just keep overall eating habits on a healthy track. She emphasizes that healthy snacking, or "grazing", is an essential part of a good nutrition plan. Her practical style lets readers adopt healthy eating habits that fit their lifestyles. "Eating on the Run" should help anyone develop healthy, practical eating habits that fit their hectic lifestyles.

I rarely recommend a book, but I must now!,
By JoeinBC "joeinbc" (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eating on the Run (Paperback)
I rarely recommend a book, but I'm feeling that I must now! The book is called Eating on the Run by Evelyn Tribole. This book brings weight management down to its barebones--you learn what your body needs as basic nutrition, how to eat and feel satisfied, the problems with diets and vitamins and how they can hurt you, dispels myths, and how to apply good eating habits efficiently w/o trading taste or satisfaction. You know me, I LOOOOOVE food but I'm just not much of a cook. And like everyone else, I'm just trying to figure out how to take care of my body.This isn't a cookbook, but there are several recipes throughout the book--many and enough to have you up and going with good eating habits. Since it is geared to busy people, it's an easy, straightforward read that really helps you to understand weight management and how to apply it. In other books, I usually learn a lot then forget it because it just isn't realistic. The author has a regular column (Recipe Makeover) in Shape magazine, is the spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, and qualified for the 1984 Olympic marathon event. Therefore, she has the credentials. So, in my most sincerist verve, I totally recommend reading this book as a way to change eating habits and understand weight management for yourself.

Gal, know's her stuff,
By C. Jass "LightGiver" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eating on the Run-3rd Edition (Paperback)
I have two jobs and I travel 3 to 5 hours a day for work. Oh, yes I am "On the Run". The Author gives some GREAT insight into making small yet very powerful changes to help me make better food choices. I am very glad I have her book and I would recommend it to anyone else who does not like to cook, is always on the run and has very little time to dedicate to meal preparation. The Author hits a Home-Run... She did not get 5 out of 5 because that would mean the book was perfect and come on what book or anything is truly perfect? Great Job ! ! !

Outstanding resource!,
By Pamela Lippert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eating on the Run-3rd Edition (Paperback)
As a person who finds it hard to fit in meals between appointments, I found this book to be an outstanding nutritional resource. Tribole really packs this book with helpful comparison charts, such as comparisons of energy bars (please expand!), best bets in frozen cuisine, and brand-name snacks. The "one-minute specials" recipes, grocery shopping tips, and fast-food best bet chart were also extremely welcome. There is a section for weight-loss too, though it doesn't take over the book, which is broad in scope for all readers to enjoy. In fact, this is the most practical book on nutrition for busy people with real lives that I have seen. I highly recommend it.
