Hi Folks,

I travel quite a bit and I am trying to think of foods I take on a plane, are not carb laden and are dry so I can get it through airport security. Here is what I have so far...I would appreciate any suggestions:

Almonds and Walnuts (Protein is good, but high in fat)

Protein bars (Pure Protein are my weapon of choice)

Instant oatmeal (Easy to make with hot Water on the plane)

Thanks,

Shaun

Beef jerky

Mixed nuts

Granola

I don't know about stuff to take on the plane, but I recently spent many hours stranded because of snow. You know those frozen yogurt places they have in many airports? I asked the kid working there to look up the grams of protein in a small cup of the frozen yogurt.... 35g ! So I got one! Yum! At that point I had 4-5 hours to kill and didn't care about the carbs. I asked, but don't remember what it was.

How long is your flight? I had a 24 hour journey on 3 planes in Dec.I didn't take any food with me. I was considering asking for a special soft diet but in the end didn't. I just ate the normal food that they serve and had no problems. Most of it is fairly soft anyway. It may not be gourmetor low fat but it was fine.

i like taking some trailmix, cucumbers and carrots, unsalted pretzels are a good choice as well.
