Breakfast

Lunch & dinner

Airports often have fast food chains inside, but also take a stroll to look for these healthy options.

Sushi: Tuna and avocado rolls are easy and convenient (5 Points for 1 hand roll), or choose ZeroPoint sashimi and edamame, plus miso soup (1 Point per cup).

Asian: Start with a base of ZeroPoint steamed veggies, add prawns or chicken (Points vary by sauce), and ½ cup rice (4 Points).

Soup: Go for brothy varieties with chicken and veggies or vegetarian chilli.

Build-your-own salad: Get all the greens and veg, plus chicken, salmon, or prawns, chickpeas or beans, and light cheese and dressing.

It’s a snack-board-for-lunch vibe…travel edition.

Start with low-Points protein*

Check the cooler section and aisles, and get two.

Load up on produce

Look by the register or in the fridge section—and get two servings.

Add some healthy fats and crunch*

Buy a small or single-serving package to help keep portions in check.

*Points vary by brand and type

Protein and granola bars are easy to find and eat on-the-go. These won’t also eat through your Points Budget.
