To go light and get serious, measure Calories per ounce. - Get as light as possible. - Nut & seeds, olive oil, peanut butter, chocolate, high fat foods – more cal/oz - Fresh fruits and veggies – less cal/oz - Good range 120-130 cal/oz The goal – nutrition, taste, & calories while keeping weight low - Good trail nutrition is just like good nutrition at home – - Balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates – with fiber, fruit + veg when possible - When “cooking” on the trail - Ease of “cooking” for most lightweight backpackers is important - Boil water and pour in a bag - Choose meals with short cook times - Amount of food. You’ll need more calories than normal, especially for full days and long trips - Some thru-hikers find that they consume 5-6,000 calories per day – very long hiking days - Avoid all canned food. Heavy - low in calories - pack out the trash. - Repackage all food when possible to reduce weight and volume - Save weight and add nutrition with dried Fruits & Veggies - Use a food dehydrator to make your own delicious and healthy trail snacks.
