Default What is your go-to meal on long flights?

I personally prefer some pastry with pudding, since it can fill a lot. What do you prefer?

For flights 8-10 hours: A sontuous breakfast + integrator of magnesium/potassium, a light sandwich (easy to digest) just before taking off and another one inflight for dinner, plenty of dry fruits melange to be consumed at regular intervals, 2 liters of plain water in a camelback (set warning on LX9000 to drink every 15 minutes!) (PAY ATTENTION: if you use gatorade or any other integrator in a camelback remember to wash it every time after flight !!). I don't like fresh fruits or vegetables because they tend to create gas, not the best if you climb high. Plan a gymnastic routine (leg wide movements from time to time) for what is possible. Of course Oxygen at least above 3.000m, better above 1.500m. Of course an easy to use peeing system is mandatory, you MUST drink and evacuate regularly during flight. Check carefully your flying suite according to the forecasted weather conditions at your planned flight levels (you don't have to feel too much cold or too much warm).
