5. Salad
Picking a salad as your airport meal will allow you to keep track of your calorie count and eat some fresh vegetables while you are at it. Keep in mind that in order for a salad to be healthy, you need to add the dressing yourself, otherwise you will be taking the risk of tripling the fat and calories.
6. Bring your own snacks
To make sure that you have healthy snacks to enjoy while you wait at the airport lounge, there is no better alternative than bringing your own. You can bring some cut veggies, fruits, or even some granola bars that you made at home. When you are the one making your snacks, you’re able to monitor every ingredient that’s in it and avoid worrying about added sugars.
7. Starbucks Classic Oatmeal
There is a Starbucks at almost every airport. And you know what? Where there is a Starbucks, there is oatmeal! Oatmeal contains an average of 160 calories, 5 grams of protein, and only 2.5 grams of fat. You can also get calcium and iron out of this meal. Just remember that if you add sugar or dried fruit you will be eating more calories, making it less healthy.
8. Chicken Noodle Soup
A coup of this soup contains only 120 calories, 8 grams of protein, and one gram of fibers. However, like the majority of restaurant soups, this one has too much salt – on average, it will have about 1,030 milligrams of sodium.
9. McDonald’s Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Salad
At McDonald’s, you can order salads with or without meat, and even though junk food is their specialty, it is one of those situations where you can pick the lesser of two evils! There is a bacon ranch salad with grilled chicken that amounts to 300 calories, and you can get 39 grams of protein from that meal – without the dressing though.
