What is your go-to ready-to-eat food in the field?

[cbuck516]

I pack a wide variety of foods for my own mental sanity and to have a well rounded diet. This year I am adding dehydrated strawberries and cooked bacon strips to my normal food list which consists of a lot of homemade items. One of my absolute favorite foods each day is a Lenny and Larry's Oatmeal Raisin cookie. The calories/ounce is on the low end for backpacking but they taste amazing and has a lot of nutritional value.

My belly fat. It works great and performance on my recent caribou pack out did not appear to suffer.

Dinner is 3 Peak Refuels. Breakfast is black coffee.

You guys are taking this Comfort Crisis too seriously.

Payday candy bars can be sat on, left in the sun, etc and still look like a Payday bar.

Yes! After forgetting about a few Paydays in my pack I've even developed a taste for old Paydays which are noticeably different than fresh Paydays.

How can you eat 3 dehydrated meals at one sitting? That’s mind boggling and I can’t imagine how the dam bursts, when it does!

Gimmie that room temp rib shaped bbq flavor pork patty. Gelatin around it and all.

It is not much of a problem, if I have not eaten all day. If I snack all day long, it can be hard to get even one full meal down.

I have never had GI problems due to the type of food I eat, I poop like normal, though have extra stinky farts when living on prepackaged meals.

Tillamook Medium Cheddar Snack Size. They’re 90 cal and 5g of protein per serving. Paired with a bagel and some kind of salami, it’s a welcome snack in the backcountry. I’ll also get creative and add it to my freeze dried MH or Peak Refuel meal.

I met a guy hunting that carries a big sack of uncrustables. That's all he eats. Sounded way better than greenbelly bars.

Probars or greenbelly meals for prepackaged stuff I’ll break up the green belly’s in half and eat them as part of a lunch

I listened to a podcast on Outside about snacks while you are active and it has changed what I pack. I used to concentrate on high protein snacks while out hiking , that is less important during than activity than carbs of any kind. That being said morning are freeze dried meals whatever I can get on sale and usually have a protein bar. Snacks during the day are gu, snickers, gummy bears, dehydrated fruit, almonds w chocolate chips,lunch is jerky or spicy tuna packs and I usually bring some electrolyte caps as well. Back at camp is a freeze dried meals whatever with freeze dried desert and protein bars (usually rx bars). Try and do my large protein in evening to allow protein to digest while I sleep. Protein takes so long to digest you don’t get benefits right away.
