Snacks on a Plane
Relying on in-flight options for guilt-free grub isn't your best-laid plan. Here are some quick Dos and Don'ts for flying the friendly skies. .
DO avoid the snack boxes with pretzels, crackers, and chips. most of those snack packs have 600 to 900 calories and dozens of fat grams each. that's hardly a snack!
DON'T forget to do your homework. check out your flight information online and find out what snack packs will be available to you.
DO stay busy. bring magazines, handheld games, crossword puzzles, or even just a pen 'n paper to doodle on or to jot down some thoughts. by keeping your mind busy, you'll keep your appetite in check.
DON'T eat all of your emergency snacks on one flight (unless it's a true emergency—like the plane's been circling the runway for 18 hours!).
DO stay hydrated. dehydration can cause grogginess and make it difficult to make smart decisions (like choosing to eat that apple you packed rather than those chips being passed around!).
DON'T underestimate your travel time. factor in getting to the airport, waiting in line, and picking up baggage—even a short flight could mean many hours before your next meal.

Just remember to pack some napkins for those sticky-sweet selections. Something Crunchy—10 °Calorie Packs and pre-popped single servings of low-fat popcorn are great airplane eats. They're filling, satisfying, and crunchy-good fun! Something Protein-Packed—A single-serving can of tuna (look for the ones with the easy-open lids), some jerky (beef, soy, or turkey), and light string cheese are all great ways to keep hunger at bay when you're airborne. Something to Savor—Low-calorie hard candies, lollipops, sugar-free gum are all awesome low-cal ways to keep your mouth busy. Plus, they'll protect your ears during takeoff and landing! HG In-Flight Tip!Take advantage of the «free to walk about the cabin» part of your trip. Stretch your limbs, stroll the aisles, and keep your blood flowing.
