Food For A Day

[out-n-about]

I AM PLANNING A TRIP FOR THE A.T. I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF FODD FOR A NORMAL DAY OF HIKING WOULD CONSIST OF.THANKS OUT-N-ABOUT:banana

How long of a trip? If it's just a short trip - say a week. Then I would not plan big meal portions. Generally speaking, your appetite is not that great during the first week of hiking. If you’re planning a longer hike, then you may want to consider dehydrating foods, such as, meats, fruits, and vegetables. I never use the prepackaged foods, too much money and too little nutritional value, imho.

Disregard my previous post, I just read your TITLE: "Food for a Day".
I would just take some wine, cheese and finger sandwiches.

some homemade oatmeal with dehydrated fruit and nuts and powdered NIDO baby milk.. maybe some cocoa mixed with coffee for breakfast..

Powerbars and Gorp, and homemade beef jerky for lunch , maybe some dillluted gatorade powder drink....

and then some homemade dehydrated spaghetti with some dehydrated fruit for supper... If near a town maybe a bagel with a bit of cheese.....
