i travel once a month and always with carry-on an never an issue. before switching to pill you may want to try them. I had one get stuck and will never swallow a pill again! I just portion out my vitamins for the trip in a baggie. the only thing tsa really cares about is liquid...so for me I hit up a walmart and grab my premier protein at my destination.

lots of great food options in Manhattan!

Few people i know who live in NYC cook so lots of corner store type places have little salad bar/buffets. Great option for a bari patient if you aren't wanting to eat out.

Last October I flew from Philly to Memphis and then from Nashville back to Philly. In my carryon, I had individual packets of syntrax nectar protein powder, some quest bars and several foil pouches of tuna plus all my vitamins/supplements/meds. No problems with TSA at all.

Thanks all!

I've scouted out some good food options near my hotel/conference center/AirBnB, as well as places to ge****er, protein snacks, etc. Can't have luggage with ALL food & pills, I need clothes, too!

Looking forward to yummy food. I can't really eat pizza

Looking forward to yummy food. I can't really eat pizza or noodles, bread/carb stuff, or lettuce, so it will be an adventure!

And my body needs that walking! ;)

I live in NY and have traveled plenty of times with powder and pills and have never been questioned by TSA on them. Have gotten the pat down for excess skin... prior to plastics..."Do you have anything in your pockets?" No that would be my skin...LOL.

I travel with miralax, various protein powders all in unmarked zip lock bags. Bring an empty shaker cup and water bottle...this is NY, you will have no problem finding food, and the quantity you will eat will be so little, the price shouldn't be a problem....

I've never had a problem, from local airports to Canadian customs where they confiscated my bottle of undeclared lip gloss, but paid no mind at all at a baggie full of mismatched random vitamins.
