who like to travel light in the wilderness, always in search of the backpack lighter meal can be taken. Of course, no means easy cookies, or other things that only a small amount of weight. If you need calories walking everywhere, so the easiest foods are those that have the most calories, weight. Here are some to consider as well as two other ways to reduce the weight of the dishes come with you.
nuts and seeds
far, one of the healthiest and most calorie packed foods can also enjoy nuts and seeds. nuts, for example, usually 170 calories per ounce, as well as proteins and amino acids it needs. Sunflower similar (slightly lower in calories if oil). That compares with only 110 calories per ounce of pure sugar and 75 calories of bread.
Oliva
olive oil is just one of the healthiest (and best) the oils you can eat, but comes with 240 calories per ounce. This is the most calories can carry the weight that this is the lightest backpacking food. Can be performed safely in a small plastic bottle, and is used for wild greens salad, pasta, or just for dipping bread. The advantage of cooler weather that fats produce heat as they digest.
Other food
Backpacking Light
Cookie has 120 calories per ounce
, and about 150 in the chocolates. Read the nutrition label, and keep trying foods that are more than 110 calories per ounce. This means, of course, all the basic carbohydrates, either in the form of sugar, pasta or potato flakes. Of course you can mix high-energy foods such as nuts, carrots or some other low-calorie foods brought for medical use, but try to keep the overall average, if you want to go light.
to look for the amount of calories? I try to keep my average above 120 per ounce. One pound of food a day and a half means that approximately 2,900 calories. Is likely to burn a little more than that every day, the average trip, but losing a pound or two a disaster for most people.
Jump
Backpacking Stove
Another way to make the weight of the backpack of food that only the dishes that should not be cooked. It is a problem that can not be warm and comfortable, without dinner, but some enjoy the rest of cooking and washing dishes. There is no reason you can not cook without a healthy diet, and most backpackers place in the warmer months, why not try a trip not to cook?
keep the weight of the stove, and fuel. There is a commitment that make a hot meal, no installation. Just put some frozen sausages in a sealed plastic bag and pack the clothes in the bag to insulate them. Therefore, they need a full day to thaw, so the second day to cook over the fire.
radical weight loss
If you really want to go backpacking in the light of food, two other tricks to use. The first is called a carbohydrate. You are not basically carbohydrates in a week, then eat a lot of them in the past two days away, store them as body. With this routine, the body can store 1,800 calories of carbohydrates in the blood, liver and muscle as glycogen. This means less food packages (well, only be worth half a day).
other less extreme, and maybe even fun techniques to learn enough about wild edible plants to supplement the diet. I ate hundreds of calories raspberry a twenty minute break while hiking in the mountains of Colorado. If you know the season in different plant foods where it is, basically you can change the weight of a package of knowledge. Even if you do not want to have a plan for edible wild food, knowing full well that means you can do with more security backpack of the minimum food think you’ll need.
