The travel and transport industries can be some of the most difficult in which to maintain a healthy diet, at least at work. Sitting in some kind of driver's seat all day and only having access to fast food restaurants and convenience stores can take its toll pretty quickly. These kind of jobs require extra effort to consume nutritionally balanced meals on a regular basis, and a lot of people simply aren't going to do that.

This makes it all the more admirable when people who work in these kinds of positions make the necessary adjustments to make sure that their healthy lifestyle is not compromised by their job. It can take a heck of a lot more planning than the average office lunchbox. 

At the same time, it is important to take into account that not all kinds of meals will be suitable. There is a judgment call to be made. For example, in the enclosed space of an airplane is no place for food that some may be offended by. Things could get unpleasant pretty quickly.

  • This didn't stop one flight attendant and influencer from boasting about bringing her tuna meal on the plane with her while calling out the passengers who had the “audacity” to be displeased by it. Reasoning that her work was no excuse to ignore her protein goals, she decided the best way to do this was with the notoriously stinky fish.

    It is fair to say that commenters were not too impressed with her decision. There are, after all, less controversial forms of protein with which to bump up those macros.

"I am better than everyone because I bring stinky fish on planes", "everyone is jealous of me and hates me because I'm better than everyone because they eat fast food and I bring stinky fish on planes", "I am the main character on the planet anywhere I go so they all have to suffer through my smelly meal and if they complain, I'll remind them that it's because they eat fast food and it's because I'm better than them".

  • megiisaurous 2w Bringing TUNA on an airplane is diabolical. A complete lack of respect for other people. It's like bringing boiled eggs.
