Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

Do you like airline food? No, that's not a trick question -- some people do. I know I've had some great meals while flying (I've only ever flown coach, by the way.) Here's another question: How healthy do you think airline meals are? They seem pretty decent -- there's always some veggies, a bit of protein, a salad, some sort of grains. Yeah, meals seem a bit on the fatty side but it's a small portion so it can't be that bad, right?

Think again. Airline food is loaded with fat, sugar and carbs. Want examples? Check out this article from Diet Detective. The Smartpack on United Airlines, for example, is a whopping 810 calories - yikes!
