Airline Meals

[viviennem]

I have just bought some Atkins bars to take with me on my next trip to the US. I will also pack almonds and pepperami. Most flights I have been on have just 1 special meal which works for diabetic, vegetarian, kosher, halal etc etc. its normally a veggie curry with rice and a piece of fruit with a salad roll and marg instead of butter. The one benefit of ordering a special meal, is that you normally get your meal first ahead of the rest of the plane

Don't eat too many Atkins bars in a short time. The polyols in them can give you the runs.

Ah, thanks Viv, I am quite sensitive to polyols - they're used in Thornton's diabetic chocolates which I love but can normally only manage 2 or 3 before the inevitable ...

They have plastic tubs and lids so you just choose what you want. Needless to say stay away from the rice and pasta salads and pile on the protein and leaves. Some of the time they don't have plastic forks so best to take your own.
