Airport food is notoriously unhealthy. It’s surprisingly simple to have delicious healthy meals even on a long flight
Airports: always hard to find healthy food. But it’s real simple to eat great healthy food even flying half way around the world
I make sure I eat well BEFORE I leave. A big bowl of oatmeal in the morning fills me up for hours so that’s what I’m doing. fruit and nuts are great snacks and for a short flight they might cover it
I lean on legumes and whole grains: filling but compact. Salads take up too much space, Soup is too messy. Sandwiches are ok but get old
eating airport food once in a while is not a big deal, but it’s good to have options
Maybe you like to eat fresh healthy food while you’re traveling, or maybe you have restrictions.
