With summer officially underway, nutritionists at Giant Food Stores can help you stay healthy while on staycations and on-the-go.

1. Eat a balanced breakfast: Energize your morning with a balanced breakfast that includes fiber and protein. Easy grab-and-go options include muffins made with whole grains, peanut butter toast, smoothies, overnight oats and fruit.2. Buy local produce: Take advantage of in-season produce grown at nearby farms and sold at Giant. Choose fruits and veggies to complement your summer salads, snacks and cookouts.3. Mindful eating out: Pick better food options when traveling. Avoid foods with descriptive words such as "fried" and "smothered." Pick grilled lean meats like chicken, fish or turkey. Also be mindful of calorie-filled side dishes and fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables.4. Relaxed road trips: Keep your energy levels high throughout the day. Combine carbs and protein for a balanced snack with trail mix, protein or granola bars, pre-made protein shakes, apples and nut butter, or dry-roasted soy beans or chickpeas.5. Healthy grilling: Choose cuts of meat that have less fat marbling such as sirloin or tenderloin and chicken or turkey breasts. When seasoning, keep it low in sodium by using fresh or dried herbs and spices.6. Stay hydrated: Grab a bottle of water instead of sugary drinks. Water will keep you hydrated and you can change it up by infusing it with fresh berries, basil, cucumbers, mint or mix it up to satisfy your palate.
