I am just starting to look at LDHing and of course, food is a main concern. Since having RNY surgery almost a year ago, my "food lifestyle" has drastically changed.
On a regular day, I am lucky to get in 1000cal (120 protein/<50 carbs). On days that I go day hiking, I might get up to 1500cal. After reading multiple books, and many threads on forums, I still can't imagine getting 4000cal a day, or more. Mostly because of the types of food. This summer, I have several hiking trips planned (multi-day), but all will be day hikes from a central location, so I won't have to haul gear. I figure this is a good way to start out, but want to plan meals/food that I could easily carry and prepare on the trail.
Here's my problem for LDH: Almost everything that I read talks about pastas, candy, pastries, pizza, pancakes, etc.... All foods I physically can no longer eat without getting sick.
Has anyone done multi-day long distance hiking after RNY, and been able to get the calories needed for this endeavor without being able to delve into the high carb/fat foods that so many talk about?
Looking for advise and suggestions!
