Hi! What are folks finding makes great trail food (i.e. lunch, energy boosters, food that keeps you feeling great versus feeling sluggy) for long days hiking or biking? We have a 4-day mountain bike trip coming up, other trips over the summer. My first thought is raw sweet potatoes cut into sticks, but have never seen it suggested. How many calories should I aim for (if that's the right measure). We'll be doing about 25 miles of ups and downs (Maah Daah Hey trail) each day. We will be out in the Badlands of North Dakota, in heat, and while we'll have the luxury of a shuttle service moving our camping gear and ice our cooler from one campsite to the next, there is no opportunity to restock. So better to take more than less ...
I did a little perusing the 11/15 hiking advice thread and will go back to that again, but my question is a little different.
This is a year of new WFPB-LF challenges and learning. We've been eating this way for 2+ years, but seems we've had an adventure trip hiatus during that time. Game on!
