Low Cal Snacks for Travel



Recommended Posts

I'm flying cross country on Thursday so I'm going to be spending most of the day either at the airport or on the plane. Does anyone have any suggestions of low calorie (around 100 calories) non-perishable Snacks that I can bring? I hate buying food at the airport because I'm a control freak who likes to weigh and measure as much of my food as possible.

Generally when I travel I use Protein bars for Protein. Perhaps fruit such as apples, bananas or oranges might work.

@@Indieflickers

ANYTHING you buy at the airport is going to be sooo expensive

i agree - Protein bars are my go-to, easy snack

while you are in the airport waiting

you could buy a greek yogurt from a vending machine

stores also have good/healthy salads you could take on board

it will stay fine/cool on the plane for a couple of hours

babybel cheese from home is yummy too

no need to worry measuring the above

have a wonderful trip

holy moly

i just realized you have lost 163 lbs!!

that's wonderful!!!!

you are aces!!!

keep up the great job

for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :rolleyes:

happy flying, have a great time

(unless it's business)

gotta just deal with that!!

I prefer Power Crunch bars. They have about 200 calories but you could do some walking in the airport or walk the escalator a few times to burn off some calories if you feel the need.

@@proudgrammy thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking about bringing some cheese.

@@twinhappy I've never tried those. I'm a huge fan of Quest bars so I haven't branched out much.

They sell them at Wal-mart and the Vitamin Shoppe so they are easy to find. I even found them at the gas station once! (referring to the Power Crunch bars)

@@OKCPirate I've always wanted to try Jerky. Do you recommend any particular kind?

@@Lutasha I've never had those. Are they spicy?

@@Indieflickers -I hate to say this but it's usually a impulse purchase at Whole Foods, and I got great deal on Jack's Jerky on Brad's deals.

@@Lutasha I'm such a wimp when it comes to spice. Foods that most people find mildly spicy are intensely hot to me. I have a super WASPy mouth.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
