Travelling? You <em>can</em> stay on track

If you plan to bring food...

Whether you pack all your eats or just a few, you’ll save pitstops, decision stress, and Points®.

In the car or at a rest area

On a plane or in the airport

How to pack and store your card

Pre-portioned snacks, use a bento box or small containers and take a small cooler to maximise options. Take napkins.

Use small, flat plastic containers with snap-lock lids and bring a few empty plastic zip bags for taking lounge snacks to go.

Easy breakfasts

Simple filling lunches & dinners

Satisfying snacks & sides

Drinks

If you plan to buy food...

Fuel up at the motorway service station

You can find Points-friendly menu items almost everywhere.

Fuel up before takeoff

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

• Sushi: Spicy tuna rolls are easy finger food ( 5 Points for 4 pieces), or choose ZeroPoint sashimi and edamame, plus miso soup (2 Points per 90g).

• Asian: Start with a base of ZeroPoint steamed veggies, add prawns or chicken (Points vary by sauce), and 100g 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 dressing.
