Trail Food

I thought some people would interested to know what I am eating while hiking the Appalachian Trail. I'm sure things will change as I continue the journey but this will give you an idea.

Breakfast (one of the following)

Granola with or without powdered milk and water

Bagel and cream cheese

Oatmeal (not me personally, but it's popular)

Lunch/Snacks while moving

4 or more granola bars, cracker packs, fig newtons packs, or protein bars

Crackers and peanut butter

Trail mix

Dinner

Carbs-pasta, couscous, quinoa, or mashed potatoes

Protein- tuna, TVP, beans, or sausage

My homemade dinners had dehydrated veggies in them. Some soup mixes do too.

Also carrying

Coco mix

Protein mix

Bonus treats depending upon how many days I'm carrying food for weight and space allowing.

Carrots

Apples

I may be one of the few people on the trail who doesn't have a stash of candy. I enjoy it at trail magic stops but currently don't see the value in carrying it. Of course that may change. I am thinking of adding pudding mix to my lunches and swapping out peanut butter for cheese and sausage. Spinach may also be a light way to add some fresh vegetables to dinner.
