I'd go for the Burger King Enormous Omelet Sandwich, maybe two of them...... but seriously......everyone has great suggestions, mostly if you can digest straw.....the one thing you really don't want to do (hence my suggestion ;o) is change radically anything in your diet just for the day you go soaring.....you're possibly going to, especially with all the fibrous suggestions I've seen here, end up landing sooner....and running toward the head if it's not already part of your daily ritual...so.eat what you might normally....no sense in grazing just cause you're in a glider!......drink....and pee.... Fiber doesn't act that nearly that quickly, so that shouldn't be a concern; nonetheless, I agree that a radical diet change during flying is probably not a good idea. I do suggest that if adding some fiber to your diet is a "radical change", then it's probably what you consume on the ground that needs changing! -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

I have been trying to determine what foods work well for extended cross country flying. It needs to taste good, give you energy, easy to eat in flight, not too messy, filling, doesn't melt, etc. What does everyone use? - John Carrots! Tasty, munchy, surprising moisture content, and the all important clincher, good for you. |

"Balance Bars" are great. There are different flavors, but avoid Balance Bar
Gold, they have a chocolate coating that will melt. Mike "ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com... I have been trying to determine what foods work well for extended cross country flying.

Report from the front - After my recent contest experience I tried all
sorts of things. Dried fruit seemed to work best for me. Dried pineapple was my favorite. Apricots were good but kind of sticky. A close second is Twizzlers. Tastes good, sugar for energy, not messy. |

I usually eat a decent breakfast early, a bunch of Cantelope before I take
off, bring plenty of water and eat Cliff bars in flight (Chocolate Chip are my favorite). The cliff bars are filling and taste decent (it ain't a RibEye but it'll do). 1 bar every 2-3 hours and I'm good for however long the flight is.
