Can You Eat Anything Healthy At the Airport?

June 6, 2019

I spoke to mindbodygreen for this article about how to keep to your health eating habits in check when you’re at the airport:

As the most basic and general of advice, I was told it’s important to rearrange your expectations. No, you’re likely not going to eat as perfectly as you normally would, but there are options out there. “I often find people think if they can’t eat healthy at the airport, they’ll either just splurge or won’t eat at all,” says registered dietitian and nutritionist Maya Feller. “Both are not great choices.”

A favorite of Feller’s is two hard-boiled eggs. (Often you can find these prepackaged at the coffee shops). “This will keep you feeling sustained as you go about your travel,” she says, which is especially important for morning travel since you’ll likely be on the go for the rest of the day.
