I'm ashamed to say it, but the guy was smaller than me, and im only about 198lbs.

In training
He was probably a food athlete--going for one of those contests which are increasingly popular. The winners are often rather slender folks. However, they have to keep their tummies stretched, so don't begrudge him a workout.

There's a In-N-Out not far from the airport at LAS.
Its the first time I've ever seen a real 20x20, only ever seen pics of it before.

As to the original question, I mix my own trail mix at home (peanuts, almonds, chocolate chips, raisins, and orange-flavored cranberries), and that is awesome on the plane (and fun to share). Sometimes I'll also make a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for the longer flights. It tastes just fine at room temperature.

There's got to be a way to ask for extra lettuce/tomato, too--that would help a lot, I think.

whatever you bring, please don't bring a meatball sandwich; sat next to someone that had one sitting out on his tray for hours, stunk up the whole plane. and that was business class too.
another time someone opened a can of tuna and started making sandwiches for about 5 other people nearby. the plane smelled like an aquarium
there should be rules about not having food that can be smelled beyond your seat.

Just imagine if someone had that on the plane.
You could feed a packed 737 with that thing!!

And bring my own ice - it takes too long to wait for drinks on late flights.
