Now that my airline is reaching the 21st Century...

I guess it is the same food that I bring on my backpacking trips... So kinda camping? It's easy, it's healthy, and I don't have to worry about if my hotel has a microwave or fridge. I guess not buying a $12 sandwich at DTW is a controversy for some people.

My cooking sucks. Taking it on the road would be just silly, and against some law about transporting dangerous biohazards across state lines or something like that.

For me it's about being healthy and not being an old, angry fat man like most of you are. Wanna be fat, knock yourself out.

Who said they're packing enough for a camping trip? And who cares what someone else does? I could care less what you or he does, good for both of you.

Maybe it's just another symptom of SNAPism, but guys seem to be rather defensive about this.

@Cptnchia I have dietary restrictions and most of the time finding food isn't a issue but I like to have a back up. I have a 13 day trip coming up and I will more than likely pack 9-10 meals as a worse case scenario.

I'm either going to stick with my backpack or get the Stealth Tote. My backpack works and it already has a padded pocket for a computer. The only reason I'm considering the tote is for more space for food.

This is what I use. Meal requires some prep though.

As a poor FO I can grab a fairly healthy lunch from the free hotel breakfast (fruit, yogurt, etc) easy enough.

That reminds me of the Parks and Rec episode where Ron Swanson was cooking bbq for everyone. He comes walking up with a pig: "And now it's time for everyone to meet their meat. This is Tom."

Pretty much any regional, first or second year.

Most of that 'yogurt' at the free hotel breakfast is just a vessel for eight different types of sugar.

Most of the rest of the food at the free hotel breakfast is just a vessel for various forms of hydrogenated oils, various forms of cheap starch, and even more sugar.

True, that's why I included fruit. Some hotels have hard boiled eggs that I grab too.

Hard-boiled - probably. Eggs - questionable.

Be sure to put your fruit through the de-icing stand, then wash several times. You don't want the pesticide to think you're its target.

But it probably does beat $14 white bread with faux meat and ersatz 'cheese product.'

tasty sweet mustard with a weird name I cannot remember

Chic-fil-a sauce?

1,000 calorie burrito.

Meh. I don't bring meals, just snacks. I can eat just one meal a day and be fine with the occasional handful of almonds and jerky.
Occasionally there's a long enough sit to run in and grab something during the day. 25 minute hub turn, when you're operating out of a hardstand where van driver reliability is questionable at best, isn't very conducive to grabbing eats inside

Bowl. Smart choices can bring it to 500-600 calories.

I'm clearly not on the inner circle of the joke but I hear Boar's Head in LGA is either the most fantastic/best/heathiest/most delicious food ever...or it's a dumpster fire? Not sure which tho. @Derg @Seggy ?

Yeah but even one simple thin flour pita, black beans, white rice, and chicken alone make it 1,000 calories. As for the bowl, you get more food in a bowl than in a burrito. I suppose you really have to watch what goes in it to be healthy.



The lack of answers just shows you there just ain't that much healthy stuff at airports. That's why some people choose to pack their own. Personally, I go with Subway subs. No sauces. Usually chicken breast and just LTO and cucumber. Wheat bread.
