Nutrition Charts are Here!

It’s been very busy around here lately so I’ve fallen way behind on the blog. Part of what has been keeping me so busy is the addition of nutrition charts to all of the meals that we offer on the website.

Truthfully, I don’t really pay close attention to the nutritional beakdown when I’m planning for the trail unless I’m going out for a long time. I eat when I’m hungry, make sure the food I've packed has a lot of variety, is healthy and colorful (guaranteeing a host of different vitamins and nutrients), and a restricted amount of overly processed foods. This has always worked for me, but I know that some hikers are much more diligent than I am when it comes to the food they carry.

One thing that we’ve done that’s a little bit different is to list our two serving meals as both two and three person meals. This is because our two person meals are larger than average servings – we’ve designed them with hungry hikers in mind and made sure that each one would truly make a satisfying and filling meal for two people. If you’ve had an at-camp-day, are hiking with kids or just have a smaller appetite, you may want to view these meals as serving three people – it just depends on your personal appetite level.
