Veggies
One thing I have started to do is pack canned vegetables. I buy the smaller cans with pop-tops. Don't take up alot of space and stack real good. They are good for a late night snack. If the room does not have a microwave I use the coffee pot. Pop the top on the can. Heat some water with the pot into one of the styrofoam cups. Place the can into the hot water to heat the whole can. You might have to reheat the water once or twice but it works pretty good. I'm told this also works for spaghetti-o's and ravioli's.

I first wash the coffe pot with dish soap that I bring along and then I put a can of Chunky stew in the pot and turn it on. About a half hour later the stew is warm enough to eat. I also pack a loaf of bread in my suitcase along with peanut butter and honey.

Presliced cooked chicken meat + Tortillas + Cheese + Foil and a hotel iron will get you some pretty good Quesadillas.
Like others I usually just bring a feed bag and stuff it with Jerkey, Wheat Thins, Dried Fruit, and granolla bars.

Instant oatmeal works great. Mix it in coffee cups with hot water you likely have on your airplane. Kellogg makes good protein water; one package has 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.
I usually pack 2 lbs bag of baby carrots for each 4 day trip; great to snack on and keeps my mouth busy (i.e. not being hungry). Fiber crackers are also pretty good. By the way, I have found that fiber and protein makes me feel full longer.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I knew they were allowed to be carried in the pit but not used in flight. I knew the food was heated through some exothermic reaction but I didn't know what the byproducts were.
