Snack Smart in any Airport

So you're traveling this spring or summer via airways...and of course you're stuck at the airport when you get a little craving for something sweet, or salty perhaps? Just remember it is possible to stay on track with your healthy eating, diet, or new lifestyle change. Instead of gorging on chips, pastries, or candy...Eat these fat friendly snacks to keep you on track and guilt free. Oh, and skinny for your final destination!

  • Nuts. Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios, and Walnuts. Peanuts are ok, but in moderation.
  • Fruit. Go nuts! LOL get it! Cuz I just said eat nuts! Whomp whomp :)
  • Beef Jerky. High protein, no carbs so it wont spike you insulin levels. But if you're watching your sodium intake, you should probably avoid this salty treat.
  • Sandwich. Pick a sandwich with lean meat, and whole grain bread.
  • Liquid snack. Protein shake, or meal replacement. Skim milk, water or juice. Sometimes we're not really "hungry" just a bit dehydrated.
  • Salad. Duh, no brainer. Just watch the dressing.
Snacks to AVOID:
  • French Fries
  • Chocolate bars
  • Chips
  • Candy
  • Smoothies (Contain tons of sugar)
  • Fried foods
  • Cakes, and pastries
  • Ice Cream
  • Bagels and doughnuts
