I Love Mexican Vacations
Vacations in Mexico remain one of the best travel deals available.
How to eat healthy while on vacation in mexico?
Im going on vacation to mexico, and am trying to eat healthy/maintain my diet. What foods and dishes should I look for that are healthy? Which ones should I avoid?
I know there is a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, but when it comes time to order an entree, what should I look for? Is there a lot of oils and butter used in cooking?
Thanks
Your question seems like if Mexico had just one kind of food, come on! this is a huuuuge country, there are vegan and vegetarian restaurants… french, italian, chinese food, sushi bars… etc
(except if you’re going to a lonely town away from any city)

Healthy eating and Mexico — an oxymoron.
Be cautious about salads. Order meat and fish. Eat rice. The native food is carbohydrates.

Depends on where you are going but if you go to places where middle class Mexicans eat you will find lots of healthy food. There are almost always wonderful salads, even for breakfast! I love a fruit and cheese plate for breakfast. Ask for "sin gras por favor" when ordering and they will cook it with low fat. Avoid terms like empanados that means breaded. You can often get lovely chicken or fish cooked in vegetables. For ordering fish look for filete Veracruz.

go to a Toks and ask for salads if you are going to a beach be careful of asking for fish the might have virus and meat is dangerous
