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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
