Unless I'm starving...I never eat the crew/passenger meals on the flight...Too much crap in that food...I take ISOPURE meal replacement packages with me on my trips...Also some protein bars. I'm a gym freak and need at least 300 grams of protein per day to help my routine, and ISOPURE has 50 grams of the stuff per package...It also mixes well with water...Plus it's better to just drink plain 'ol H2O and lots of it...Eat healthy be healthy.
If you look real close in the picture you will see me eating an hot fudge sunday...It was my birthday...Honestly!!!!!!!

yes it does make you go pee, but so does water. it does not make you eliminate more fluids than you take in, that is why is not a diuretic. furthermore, they have found out it destroys cancer cell in the liver in lab rats ( more studies to follow).
on the down side, it is an irritant, so if you suffer from IBS, Heartburn , acid relex or something like that you should stay away from it.
also, the airplane water used for making coffe is full of bacteria... but is ok to drink it from a reputable coffe shop or make your own with bottle/filter water if you carry one of those plastic french press from REI.
