While Travelling

LivingInPuglia

Any tips on how to manage food while travelling. I'm about to take a short haul flight (just over two hours) followed by a two hour car drive. Will be leaving home at 7am and arriving at my Mum's house around 3pm.

In the past I have always while away travelling time with mindless eating. Really don't want to do that this time.

so you basically need to eat lunch on the run. Breakfast, you can eat before you leave or take from home. I usually just get a grilled chicken salad or something along those lines. Protein or energy bars work on the run as well.

Thanks ...... grilled chicken salad sounds good ....... hopefully Girona airport will run to something like that, some of the smaller European airports are not too good at anything other than sandwiches and fast food. So it might have to be the protein bars!

not sure how airport food is in Europe, but for me personally in the States, I have no problem avoiding it. Paying $10 for a crappy deli sandwich is pretty easy for me to avoid unless I am just starving!

We are not allowed to take anything that has not been bought airside ..... supposed security issues

I can just about do breakfast before I leave home at 7am (normally breakfast for me is 9am). I can try to do lunch at Girona airport but will be in a hurry to get the car and be on the road to mum.

But, ..... my problem is not really that .... I have this mindless eating problem, calories don't count when you are travelling, when you are on holiday, when mum is cooking for you ..... I have 2 days travelling and a week with mum .... help
