If you made any resolutions for 2013, it’s likely that healthy eating made the list. But anyone who travels often knows how tough it is to stick to healthier nutritional choices. Contributor Courtney Crockett made it easy by tracking down healthy options (and calories counts) at new eateries and kiosks at airports around the country. For added incentive, check out this month’s contest where one fit tip can win you a Caribbean boot camp vacation.

After examining 18 major airports—including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) dietitians found that 76 percent of airport restaurants now offer at least one low-fat, high-fiber, cholesterol-free vegetarian entrée.

Whether you sit down for a full meal or just grab your own in-flight snacks, here’s a few names to keep in your back pocket next time you’re on the road.

Surprisingly, Newark topped PCRM’s list in 2012 with a health score of 92 percent.
