Brie Baguette, or Big Mac?
Here are four easy ways to avoid “terminal illness” the next time you fly
1 Educate Yourself
Avoiding obvious vices like Cinnabon is a no-brainer. But it’s important to do your homework, too. For example: while a multi-grain bagel is the best option at Dunkin Donuts, it’s still 380 calories—about the same as five slices of whole wheat bread.
2 Pack Snacks
It’s easy to talk yourself into grabbing a snack to carry on. But be warned: those wholesome-looking bags of trail mix can pack more calories (and fat) than a sit-down dinner. Next time, bring a small sandwich, granola bar or piece of fruit from home.
3 Mind Your Belly
Travel can be disorienting to your system, particularly if you’re crossing time zones. So before you drop $20 on a full airport meal, consider this: do you really need to fill your belly, or are you just killing time? A simple mental check-in might save you the grief.
4 Know Your Options
A recent survey by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine revealed good news: guilt-free airport dining options are definitely on the rise. Here’s a quick rundown of the restaurants most likely to offer healthy entrées at some of Frontier’s most frequented airports.
