One of the big problems is that due to various regulations the food that you can take on the plane with you is very limited and the food that they can serve you is also pretty limited. The dry air and cabin pressure add to issues with trying to deliver fresh tasty food.
It can be a bit of a dilemma when presented with a tray of food. On the one hand you may be bored and/or hungry but if you eat it all you may feel even more uncomfortable. Also if you have been working towards a weight loss goal you may feel disappointed after you have eaten it all. The longer you fly the more you struggle with the food.
So here are a few tips to help you survive airline food even on the longest trips.
- Choose all the salads and fresh fruit that you are offered
- Avoid the desserts unless they are fresh fruit
- Fill up on the main course (where possible) and then choose the crackers without the cheese in preference to the sweet dessert
- If you want to drink alcohol with your meal choose red or dry white wine over spirits
- Drink water every time it is offered (you can usually fill up your own water bottle in the departure areas)
- If you are in transit use the time to walk around to help with digestion, blood flow (especially to your lower legs) and you can also get more fluids such as a cup of herbal tea
- Refuse meals if you aren't hungry and have already eaten on the flight, or if in transit you are now flying in the middle of the night and have already eaten as much as you normally would during the day
Enjoy your travels
