Pack Snacks Hunger in between meals can lead to overeating when it's actually time for food. To prevent this ?hangry? feeling, she recommends packing snacks like whole or dried fruit, nuts and trail mix, pretzels or crackers with hummus or nut butter, or protein/granola bars.

Controlling hunger while traveling requires a combination of strategic hydration and high-protein snacking. Dehydration is frequently mistaken for hunger, especially in pressurized airplane cabins or while walking long distances in a new city; carrying a reusable water bottle and sipping regularly can curb unnecessary cravings. To avoid "hanger" and the temptation of expensive, low-quality airport food, always pack portable, nutrient-dense snacks like almonds, protein bars, or beef jerky, which provide sustained energy without the blood sugar crashes associated with sugary treats. Additionally, prioritizing a high-protein breakfast (like eggs or Greek yogurt) before starting your day of exploration will keep you full longer than a pastry-heavy continental breakfast. Finally, try to stick to a regular eating schedule as much as possible; traveling often disrupts our internal clocks, leading to "boredom eating" or late-night cravings that can be mitigated by planning your main meals in advance.
