Staying energized on the trail is of critical importance to keep you going when the miles get long and you've still got more to go. So in this video, I'm going over some of the best foods to eat to help keep your energy up while you're hiking, including protein bars, chews and my personal favorite: peanut butter!

"Few things I like to do is constantly eat"... I guess we got that in common... Even though I don't hike.

I made the mistake of overpacking supplies but underpacking snacks on my last backpacking trip. I can confirm that hiking is a heck of a lot worse when you don't have snacks on hand.

I really wished I loved peanut butter that much. It would be such great calories and fat. But I just don't love it that much haha Thanks for all the suggestions!

I think if you pack some apples and put some peanut butter in Ziploc bags and bite the corner you can squeeze the peanut butter on the Apple has you go

Bonking occurs when your liver and muscles have used up their glycogen stores. When hiking at a light to moderate level of exertion, your body will get about 70-80% of your calories from fat stores and bonking should not occur for quite a few hours. If bonking is really an issue, then fats are not going to help much. At that point, you need a recovery drink (not solid food) and the best recovery drink will consist of a 4:1 ratio of simple sugars (dextrose and sucrose) to protein (preferably a pre-digested protein).

What drink would you recommend

@TheBigBlueMarble Жыл бұрын

@@kaiokenkamikaze21 This is actually simpler than you might think. For a trail drink, don't try to get a lot of calories from your fluids. What you want is something that will replace electrolytes and minerals...and most importantly that you like enough to drink a lot of. Staying hydrated and keeping your electrolytes in balance is far more important than calories. Not to mention the fact that using a drink to get calories is not a good use of weight. Calories are far more concentrated in food and thus solid food is a better way to carry them. For a recovery drink, I make my own. A combination of glucose, sucrose, and a chocolate protein powder. I carry this dry and mix it with water when I need it. I mix equal parts of glucose and sucrose and then enough protein to get the right proportions.

Eating is as much of the process as moving your feet to get to the top of the mountain. You do it automatically. Set your watch timer if necessary - every 15 minutes eat and drink something. Keep it easily accessible so you don’t need to off-load your pack to get it.
