[QUOTE="Ricky, post: 304915, member: 27137"] I frequently fly a 5 hour and a 13 hour flight. I order a kosher meal and eat only the protein. Kosher meals tend to less likely to have pasta meals and tend to have a piece of fish/meat/chicken. I carry oatcakes with me. On the 13 hour flight I ask for fruit/cheese/nuts "because I am diabetic" and I usually get them. Nuts tend to be more difficult these days because of nut free flights. At breakfast I ask for a natural sugar free yoghurt and miraculously one often appears from 1st class!! I also carry packs of mixed nuts and my latest find which I buy in bulk online are high protein low GI Energy bars from Nature's Plus which although expensive I normally eat 1/4 or 1/2 at a time. They are far more nutritious than Atkins bars and come in delicious flavours. You don't actually need as much food as usual on a flight because of the fact that sitting is not using as much energy up as you usually do. Drink loads of water. I find problems in places like Dubai airport (Starbucks humous and carrot sticks were the only thing acceptable to me!!) The best meal ever for me was breakfast on an Emirates flights - cheeses, humous, salad. At Manchester airport if travelling with a budget (no food) airline I go to the salad bar and make up a salad bowl with cheese/egg/tuna/beans - whatever protein they have and take that onboard. It does me for the flight. Hope some of this was helpful [/QUOTE]
