If You Ever Fly, You've Probably Been Stuck In An Airport With
Few To No Food Choices.
Finding Where To Eat In The Airport
There are some healthy choices at many airports throughout the country. And, in general, the larger the airport the more choices you will have. Atlanta's airport, for instance, has plenty of options on each concourse whereas the airport in Colorado Springs has few options.
If you are already there, look for the directory. Or, Google the "airport" and "food" ahead of time to find out what restaurants are there.
Keep in mind that many fast food and quick service restaurants will not carry all of their menu items in the airport. So, always bring food with you. The airport is basically an unknown. You could run into lines, delays, flight cancellations or any number of other issues.
Food You Should Carry With You
One of my nutrition mottos is, "always carry food with you" (and more than you think you'll eat), especially when you are traveling. I've spent quality time on tarmacks and in airports at all hours of the day and night.

Conclusion
No matter where you are going, bring food with you. Some airports have healthy choices but others do not or they may have long lines etc. And, you definitely don't want to be stuck relying on small snack packs of pretzels as your stomach growls in flight.
