Airplane Food

Oh TSA security, why must you derail my eating? I struggle when I am taken off my plan, whether that be eating out or finding myself hungry unexpectedly while I'm not home...

This is the big weekend! Knocking something off the bucket list - I'm going to the Broncos game. I am so pumped (painted my fingernails blue and orange yesterday)! I planned ahead what I would bring on the plane, some of this weekend I can control my eating. I wanted to stay as close to my normal routine as possible so I grabbed a single serve Chobani and brought my apples & PB (my latest obsession). I knew there was a chance that security would consider yogurt liquid and confiscate it. Sure enough the security guard took it. Shoot! Now I was headed onto a 4.5 hour flight with just apples & PB.... Probably not enough to hold me over, I ate breakfast before I left but that would be 6 hours on just apples.... So I became to review my food options. Of course it was too much to hope for a package of yogurt but there were yogurt parfaits... I started the search on My Fitness Pal to determine what was my best option. With McDonalds at least I now what I'm getting. The random stands could SEEM to be a good choice but may have hidden terribleness. After about 10-15 minutes of indecisiveness I decided just a side of eggs would be best. Yes, I had eggs already this morning but the protein will be filling and there is little that a place can do to plain eggs to add unknown calories/fat. A decision made. I am learning how to make better decisions on the fly all the time! Subway's the plan for lunch once I get the rental car....
