Considerations

• Two things you need to keep in mind are avoiding containers of liquids greater than 3 oz. and steering clear of highly perishable products.
  
  

Time Frame

• If you'll be eating within a couple of hours, high protein snacks like cheese sticks travel well; avoid these in hot weather or if you anticipate long delays, since they won't stay fresh for long.
  
  

Drinks

• Creatively avoid "the 3 oz rule" by bringing high protein drink powders and mixing them once on the plane; nonfat, dry powdered milk and protein drink mixes are two convenient options with lots of protein.
  
  

Nuts

• Nuts like almonds, cashews and peanuts are also a good source of protein and healthy fat that travels easily; mix together a variety of nuts, whole grain cereal and dried fruit for a quick and easy trail mix.
  
  

Other Options

• Other high protein foods that travel well include single size servings of peanut butter, yogurt, small cans of tuna, protein bars and beef or soy jerky.
