Heading into the busy holiday season, travelers can get some healthy food options at DFW Airport.

Nutrition experts with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine report DFW Airport is tops among airports for healthy food choices.

Detroit and Chicago's O'Hare tied DFW for airport providing travelers the most opportunities for wholesome meals that incorporate fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.

This is the second year in a row DFW topped the list.

Health-conscious travelers will find nearly 40 restaurants that offer at least one low-fat, zero-cholesterol meal.

Healthful offerings include the vegan smoked tofu, broccoli, and mushroom burrito at 360 Gourmet Burrito, the portable portobello wrap (hold the feta) at UFood Grill, the Sonoma veggie wrap (minus the cheese) at Camille's Sidewalk Café, and the guiltless black bean burger at Chili's Too.

The three lowest scores went to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
