Ideas for food on long flight.

Will be on long flight in a couple weeks, I think 13-15 hours non- stop for the first flight. Not sure what the food will be like can you give me some ideas on what I could take on board. I have had one fill so I can eat some solid foods now.

Thanks

Lassie

Nuts are always good, I like pistachios in particular.

While they're not good as "normal" part of your diet, for a circumstances when I know I'll be traveling and unable to have decent meal choices, I will stick a Protein Meal Replacement bar in my purse. This way though not necessarily a good meal choice overall, it's still a lot healthier than most of the stuff I'd have been stuck with it if I hadn't brought one.

Apples are always great on the go, too.

I just eat the plane food. Most of it is fairly soft so it shouldn't be too hard. If you are concerned avoid the meat that they serve and just eat the veg. Breakfast normally has some kind of eggs and they go down Ok.

You could always take a cup a Soup or some kind of dehydrated meal and then ask for hot Water when you are on board.

I also would plan on eating the plane food. One high fat meal won't derail your weight loss. And don't bother with a low fat/salt option; I did that once and it was HORRIBLE. Bringing a couple low cal Protein Bars as a back up plan. A couple apples and some string cheese would be good as well.

Take a small soft cooler like a lunch pail and put it in your carryon/backpack. Put cheese/nuts/chicken salad you make.. for liquids you can also buy bottled Water after the security checkpoint and make sure to hydrate during the flight! You can get a Protein bistro box at a Starbucks most airports have those! You could take hummus, it is just the liquids you have to worry about taking through security. You could also take a mixer bottle and take some Protein Powder and mix it up on the plane. Grab the milk or water whatever you mix with in the terminal. I have found most of the planes have stuff that is workable for flights.

You can buy yogurt at the airport. If you take string cheese it can't stay out longer than two hours. Take an insulate lunch bag. Also the Protein powder. GNC sells a nice small bottle for mixing your protein. I like hummus you can get the small single sizes to take with you or purchase on the plane. Roll up lunch meat with cheese inside.

Safe travels

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
