I find that when I bomb up to a hunting spot for a quick scout or hunting trip that my eating definitely changes. I find that I am "tired" when I sit down to try to glass. I suspect my blood sugar is low, and the Increase in Elevation are the main culprits. Of course a 6-8 hour drive to the trailhead contributes as well
My question is what foods are gonna combat that tired feeling? I'm reluctant to resort to the gels I use on long trail runs because of the sugar crash and insulin dump 45 minutes later. I'm hesitant to do the 5 hour energy drinks because I worry I am gonna get jittery and get the "caffeine scours".
My gut feeling is I need to eat real food more often during the day. What should those real foods be? Starch, Fiber, protein, fat?
What keeps you alert without keeping you awake at night?
