PEANUTS OR PRETZELS?

I went on a little grown-up getaway last week and like many travelers, was faced with the frustrations of airport/plane food :/  No bueno.  My particular airline did not serve the usual snack choice of “Peanuts or Pretzels” so instead (in my hangry state of mind) I mulled over which I would recommend as the healthier choice.  Here’s what you should know:

As you can see, Peanuts have more calories per ounce (largely because it has more grams of fat as well as protein).  In this instance, I think it’s more important to note the lack of nutritious-ness in the Pretzels (high in sodium, low in fiber and protein) despite them being lower in calories in comparison to the Peanuts.  So, PEANUTS FTW!  It would also be a great protein to pair with your favorite portable produce, like an apple, banana, cutie or unsweetened dried fruit.

What other healthy airplane/port tips do you practice?

XOxo,
