LOOKING TO EAT A HEALTHY MEAL before your flight out of Reagan National Airport? You might have to scrounge around a bit: A study of food offerings at the nation's busiest airports by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine ranked National dead last in healthiness, The Post's Sally Squires reports.

According to the study, just 42 percent of restaurants at the airport offer at least one low-fat, high-fiber, cholesterol-free vegetarian meal, Squires writes.

The low rating doesn't mean it's just grease and sweets at National's eateries, though. Among the healthier choices the group found, according to Squires: "Matsutake Sushi's vegetable combination roll, veggie chili at Cosi and a portobello melt at TGI Friday's, although the organization recommended skipping the cheese on that sandwich."
