On the main outdoor trip routes like
Annapurna,
Everest
and
Langtang, Eco-friendly Trekking will
introduce places to eat in one of good outdoor trip lodge in each breakfast, lunch
and dinner spot as per itinerary we provided you. Food may vary from dal bhat
(rice and dal) to elaborate meals with apple pie and pizza. It is usually a good
idea to carry a variety of snacks like dried fruit (best brought from home),
cheese and candy bars with you. The main drinks on a outdoor trip are tea and “hot
lemon.” Please click here

About outdoor trip Meals & Menu
When thru-adventure trips, you can expend up to 7000 calories a day,
average is 3000-5000 calories. These numbers are not exact in any
way. The U.S. Military (Thanks them!) considers 3600
calories a day plenty for a soldier of 5′ 10″ 180 lbs, under a full
days combat conditions. Based on
Steve Creek’s Calorie Calculator
(http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/calories.shtml)
, as a 6 ft man that weighs 200 lbs. I require 3410 calories
a day under an active lifestyle. I don’t weight 200 lbs, I weight
220 lbs. To maintain my weight I would need to consume 3750
calories. Always remember that your needs will be slightly different
than everyone else. Don’t be stuck on the numbers to much. They must
be used as a guideline only! After all, our metabolisms burn
different stuff better or worse than others and faster or slower
than others.
The calories spent by a person are different based on how fast you
hike, how tall you are, how fast your natural resting metabolism is,
how much weight you carry (Both on your body and pack), how much
sleep you had the night before, and much, much more. As a
thru-adventure trip maker, you must build a diet. This diet will be
the majority of what will keep you alive for the next six months. It
must keep you healthy and bonk free. This requires the menu to
provide the calories, nutrition, and tastes that you need and will
eat. This menu must also be balanced. Meaning that you have protein,
Carbohydrates, and fats. You must get all three. Without one, the
other two are not processed properly. If you do not eat
carbohydrates you cannot store water properly. If you do not eat
proteins the carbohydrates will be processed to fast and cause a
roller coaster effect in your blood (ie: hyperactive and full of
life one minute, exhausted and depressed the next). With out fats,
your joints wear down and begin to grind. PAIN!!!!! Worse you will
have to double up the carbs and proteins you eat. Fats have at least
twice the calories per ounce than the other two food groups.
Now you could only take mars bars and summer sausage. They would
provide you the calories you need and then some, plus they have
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. But after a couple of months you
would be heading to the hospital via a life flight off the trail.
Your body would loose its ability to process the calories due to
insufficient nutrition. You would be eating like a pig and still
would not receive the nutrition you need to fuel your cells. This
leads to what athletes call the “bonk”. Your body literally trys to
turn off due to a lack of fuel in the cells at the molecular level.
This only occurs after all stores of any kind are used up. Those
stores are, in order of use, carbs in the muscles, fat in the skin,
protein that makes up the muscles, and the calcium in your bones.
You get to the calcium and you are already in trouble.
The body must have fat, muscle, and bone to function. The minimum
fat a person can have safely is 5%. Any less and you will find
yourself in serious trouble. In fact the 5% is actually too close in
some expert opinions. some long distance hikers have gone to taking
their body fat into account when trying to save weight in food
stores. Don’t try to play with this too much if you are proper
weight.
Your body burns calories to provide motion, thought, cooling,
heating, focus, pretty much everything that you and I take for
granted every day. The average man weighing about 200 lbs will need
just under or at 2000 calories a day for him to sit on the couch and
watch TV comfortably. An average woman weighing 130 lbs would need
right at or just under 1200 calories (this does not include times of
menstruation when it goes slightly up for a few days).
Any activity above that and your caloric intake must go up. Walking
twenty miles a day, on varying terrain, is a major increase in
caloric consumption. The body is built to adapt to that burn. Your
metabolism will sky rocket and you will gain what some call “The
hiker’s hunger”. This is a condition where your body is craving so
many calories that you cannot physically eat enough in a single meal
to fill your stomach. Thru-hikers regularly eat a pint of any flavor
ice cream and are still hungry. Better yet they don’t gain a pound!
(I’m not advocating adventure trip as a diet. Most women gain scale
weight, not size much, due to muscle tone and building. Men drop
size but gain it all back plus more after the hike.)
We are looking into everything from quality of food, to transport.
We will be weighing the pros and cons of raw food, dehydrated food,
and everything in between. We want the calories, the nutrition, and
the flavor. But we must make sure we have it in balance with our
bodies needs. The list of pages here will provide you will all of
what we learn. Let me know if you like it and what you need to see.
We’ll add information and answer any questions you have with
reliable sources!
Food Menu during Camping
On
outdoor trips, your cook will prepare three hot meals a day with tea
and biscuits in the afternoon. Breakfast consists of hot porridge,
granola/cereal, pancakes, coffee and tea. Lunch is eggs, dried
meats, sandwiches and vegetables. Dinner starts with soup, followed
by the main course and dessert. Dinner fare incorporates Indian,
Nepalese, Tibetan, Bhutanese and Continental cuisines (depending on
the region). Fresh meat is infrequently served. outdoor trip meals
are hearty and basic. Main staples consist of rice, noodles (egg and
wheat), potatoes, lentils, eggs, cheese, nan (bread from the
subcontinent which resembles tortillas) and vegetables. Condiments
such as catsup, chili, chutney, peanut butter, jelly, sugar, salt
and pepper accompany every meal. If you are vegetarian or have other
dietary needs, please let us know so we can best accommodate your
request.
Whether you're on an overland cultural tour or a outdoor trip
adventure, we recommend you bring a bag of goodies to snack on.
