Airport Food
Most airport food is a bad choice. Here is what works.
Most terminals are fast food, pizza by the slice, and fried everything. Starbucks is almost always there and most airports have at least one sit-down option. Know your order before you land.
What to order where
Bacon and Gruyère Egg Bites + unsweetened cold brew or hot coffee.
Available at almost every U.S. airport. Order ahead on the app to skip the line.
Rotisserie chicken protein bowl or 6-inch on 9-grain wheat. Lots of vegetables, mustard.
One of the most common airport chains. Know your order before you get in line.
2x Egg McMuffin if it is breakfast. McDouble no bun if it is lunch or dinner.
Last resort. Breakfast is significantly better than lunch or dinner here.
Grilled chicken or fish with a vegetable side. Sauce on the side. Skip the bread basket.
Sit-down options are almost always more customizable and worth the extra time if you have it.
Protein bar, string cheese, hard-boiled eggs if they carry them, nuts.
Better than most hot food options in a terminal pinch.
How to handle it

In your first few months, eat before you leave for the airport. Airport stress plus a sensitive stomach is a real problem. If you have to eat there, Starbucks egg bites or a protein box. Fried food is a risk this early.
