Hi bolly_darling.

Well, the 'big 5' are certainly bread, potatoes, pasta, rice and sugar. If you can avoid that lot then you're most of the way there already!

Low carb snacks on a plane? Nuts are good, but be careful of peanuts and cashews. Good quality sausage such as chorizo for example. Fresh green veggies such as celery sticks, green peppers etc.

Bon voyage!

Thanks Fergus
Will try and leave the big five out . any ideas on breakfast cerels. wich ones to eat.

None of them is the short answer!

You could make your own cereal if you really miss it. Use equal quantities of flax seeds, desicatted coconut, pumkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chopped almonds, with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
