Traveling

Just the nectar ones--regular Clif bars have "bad" stuff in them like extracted soy protein, etc, that are not whole foods (and their fat content is higher). Another bar that is allowed as a treat is Larabars, which are nothing but fruit and nuts.

Sorry, meant to say 'only the nectar bars'.

Here's the list of approved packaged foods ~ keep in mind that there may be products out there that aren't on the list, and things that were on the list may change their ingredients, so always read labels, too.

http://drmcdougall.com/packaged.html

Richer Foods - High Simple Sugar Foods

* Breakfast Bars & Cookies

and

Richer Foods - Higher Fat Foods
These products are listed here because they are higher in fat than the other products on this list, either because of nuts and seeds, and/or small amounts of added oils. These products should be used sparingly, if at all, and with the understanding that they are rich foods.

* Breakfast Bars & Cookies


You'll find the Clif and Larabars in the last category (Richer - Higher Fat) but there are also some things listed in the Regular and the Richer sections ...

**edited to add - I'm sorry! I forgot this was in the MWL forum. That list is for the 12-day -- which might make some good traveling treats, but most wouldn't likely be MWL compliant**

I always have a baggie of garbanzo beans in my backpack to snack on. In airports I look for Mexican. I get a vegie burito (no cheese/sour cream) - If you are LAX - you are in trouble - it is the most unhealthiest airport for food - so i plan accordingly.

If you can go to starbucks they have the perfect oatmeal which is great, you can get topping with them but you don't have to. Not super cheap, but at least you know it is healthy.

Has anybody had luck getting hot water from the flight attendants?

Downtown Dallas was not much fun. The Sheraton had buffet meals for each meal and I was able to choose McD items each time. Baked red potatoes, fresh fruit, plain bagel, refried beans. But I know that there was oil in these things because of the taste. Still, it was better than most of what was available. I attended a 3 day conference and there was not a single vegan entree offered by the conf. organizers the entire time. I took a couple of McD soups with me and, coupled with the fresh fruit, they made two nice lunches.

One oriental restaurant was happy to make up stir-fried veggies and steamed rice for me, though it was not on the menu. This was a lunch-place that had a set menu laid out in front of the servers. Anyway, they made the veggies oil-free and it was wonderful. Wish they had been open for breakfasts or dinners.

I'm also flying next week. I have to figure out something for dinner--I used to grab something during layovers, but no way am I doing that now. (Unless there's a Wendy's in the airport, which I certainly can't count on. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a Wendy's in an airport.)

Just FYI, Portland Oregon's airport does have a Wendys!
