Eating healthy while traveling is quite hard. When I was in the USA last year, I used the Amtrak service extensively across the country, and at the time I was close to competition time, so I was on a very low carb diet (VLC) and had to be sooooo picky when it came to my meals. However, I must say I was able to stick to the diet almost completely, with the exception of some of the snack times.
HOW?
I made sure I chose options in the dining cart that excluded any carbohydrates like bread, pasta, potatoes etc, and had mostly only the protein source with some extra salad to go with it. Snack times I did some coffee, water and packets of nuts.
See, it can be done...just make sure you WANT to stick to your plan, KNOW what your plan entails and what can be alternatives on your plan, and ASK for alternatives.
Train travel is great. It is also quite hectic, and it is an easy time to throw caution to the wind. You can enjoy a peaceful and healthy journey too.
