One down, my return is Saturday.
The meal from IAD was acceptable for me but I think others might have found it bland. It was a cooked chicken breast, spinach and orzo-ish/mushroom/onion mix (was not orzo but a similar small pasta that I am not familiar with) with a red sauce that tasted okay but I didn't use. Add salt/pepper to the pasta and the meal was pretty good. This came with a chocolate chip vegan cookie which was okay and a roll that was the only inedible thing on the tray. Both of those were individually wrapped in plastic.

Good for you for trying to stay on your diet. Takes real dedication! ^
But I wonder if it's not okay to just stray for a meal or two, just like if you were invited to dinner at a nice restaurant. It's not easy to order completely healthily. Sometimes you can reward yourself.

(I see that AndrewSC beat me to this very response and by quite a few months.

I saw that, too. I don't think it would be considered a transcon (ORD-LAX is not catered as a transcon and it is only slightly shorter), but even if it were, I don't think catering would be consistent with p.s. catering.

From this thread it sounds like low fat is the way to go on the PS red-eye. Is that still the consensus?
