Travel Food



Recommended Posts

Am going on a trip in about 3 &1/2 weeks and am having a hard time thinking of some foods that I can take on the airplane with me. My total trip will take almost 9 hours so I need to take something with me. I have thought that I could take some cheese sticks and nuts but does anyone have any other ideas for what I could take that will meet airline rules? Any ideas are greatly appreciated thanks :)

Sorry I thought of another one lol.

Special K makes 100 calorie snack packs of chips/treats. They'd be another good thing to bring with you for a snack along the way. They're not exactly healthy but they are low calorie and you won't risk getting stuck eating them. They have both chips and pastry crisps, you can find them in the granola bar/cereal aisle of most stores.

I really hope that question was a joke but here is my answer....I feel I need to eat to keep my energy level up and so being on an airplane for hours with my tummy rumbling will not happen and make it even more uncomfortable to b on a cramped airplane.....trying to make my trip a little more tolerable :)

when we travel (to beach a couple hours away) or our lake house for the day or to a bike rally..in my purse, i have always had Protein bars (some are fantastic)...but we take in little baggies or lock n lock (tupperware type) mini's...grapes, carrots, apples, cheese cubes (not all at same time as hub need Snacks too) and they fit in the sissy bag or hubs vest nicely...would think this could fit into your purse or carry on

It will seem expensive but buy some bottles of Water once you are thru security. Sure you can get water on the plane but my long flight was an overnight one and I woke up very thirsty but didn't want to bother the ppl around me. Was very glad to have a bottle of water. Also try to have an aisle seat and make sure you have a barf bag. And if you get stuck just blame it on motion sickness.

I just found some new Protein bars that a really good! They're QuestBar. I've only tried the chocolate chip cookie dough, but they have lots of other flavors. This one has 21 grams of Protein, 17 grams of Fiber, and 190 calories. I looked at the chocolate brownie, which had 170 calories, 20 grams of protein, etc. Here is a link...... I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
