Eating Right In Airplane – Healthy Airport FoodHow To Eat Right When Traveling
Now that airlines are cutting costs it is even harder to eat right when in an airplane. My recent 36-hour round-trip business excursion from Pennsylvania to Arizona proved to be another challenge in the world of healthy eating. It takes a long time to get to Arizona and a person can get pretty hungry during that time. One of the ways that I recommend to eat right on an airplane is to take as much food with you as possible. Dry snacks, fruit and even a sandwich can keep for a long time when you plan ahead.
Travel Food Choices
The longer you can refrain from a purchased meal, the better you will make out long-term, so try to get through the first few meals on your own. Anyway, going through security in Harrisburg they took my yogurt. My other snacks and sandwiches actually got me all the way to Phoenix without purchasing a restaurant food item. I was really glad of that because the airlines are charging for food now. You can get a snack box for $14. It is about the size of a box of salt water taffy and includes a can of tuna (I guess you eat it out of the can), crackers, a container of applesauce (about 2 tablespoons), a jam and peanut butter packet, cookies and a microscopic package of pretzels. I did not order one. Two businessmen behind me did and were afraid of the tuna. They also sold tuna sandwiches and a salad of some sort; all for $14 each. Next time you travel and your ticket says meal service don’t expect it for free! It Is Hard To Eat Healthy At AirportAfter my meal observations on the way out to Phoenix, and having consumed all my personal food stashes, I had to resort to airport food on the return trip. It is hard to eat healthy in an airport! I decided to purchase something to take on the plane from Phoenix to Charlotte for my dinner, even though I had just come out of a business luncheon and was not hungry at the moment. Strolling down the airport boulevard looking for healthy food choices: TCBY Yogurt, Cinnabon, Burger King, Starbucks, Tequila Bar….. hmm, what shall I have? It is hard to eat healthy in an airport! Looking at the tequila bar menu it looked like a glorified Taco Hell. All the dishes were flour tortillas and I prefer to eat only whole grains….hmm, what shall I do? It is hard to eat healthy in an airport! I chatted with a sociable server and asked some questions about the menu.
Well, see you CAN eat healthy in an airport!!
Meal Service On An AirplaneIt is hard to eat healthy on an airplane. After we were in the air for awhile the food service started and my neighbors got a snack box and a Cobb salad (I think?!) My meal was no longer hot yet it was somewhat healthy and the best healthy choice I could find in an airport. Life is about choices. Learning skill that assist you in making good food choices each day will make it easier to eat right on an airplane and every where else as well. Do the best you can each day and it will pay off in the long run. ![]() ![]() This entry was posted on Thursday, March 26th, 2009 at 8:56 pm and is filed under Food Choices.
