Trend away...but I'll add EAA's (essential amino acids to help stave muscle catabolism), Himalayan salt, and maple syrup to my green tea/water for the day.
And pack a real lunch of some type of ground meat, yams/sweet potatoes, vegetables, mashed together (for easier consumption) , add pineapple to help with absorption and sugar. A small supply of nuts/dates and a tin of olive oil+lemon sardines lives in the pack for extra sustenance if needed.
I need to grab a bigger pack so I can bring a coffee thermos along (cocao nibs soaking and cinnamon, yum-yum).Last edited by robnow; 12-14-2019 at 11:20 AM.

It's like there's a party in your backpack, and everyone is invited.

True, but not really the point I think. The point is to make a counterargument to the assertion that our current diet should be based on the diet of our evolutionary ancestors (hereafter referred to as "The Cavemen") just because our genes were shaped by the selective pressures on those individuals.
The Cavemen were able to reproduce in their mid-teens. Even given the relatively long period of development of baby humans, their offspring were then able to have their own children in their mid-teens. Since evolution by natural selection can only act by altering the number of viable offspring in the succeeding generation, The Cavemen were evolutionarily irrelevant by their early 30s. Let alone the fact that most of them were dead by ~40 (they might as well be, they've already passed on their genes).
Our genes, that is, the genes we inherited from The Cavemen, were "chosen" by selective pressures to confer a greater probability that a baby-Caveman grow up to be ~15 years old, fuck, birth and raise a baby-Caveman of their own to be old enough to go off and fuck (again, ~15 years old). Therefore, selecting a diet based on any version of "it's what our ancestors ate" or "it's what our genetics are designed for" is actually adopting a set of dietary guidelines optimized to "live long enough to become a teenager, pop out a kid, raise that kid to become a teenager, and die" rather than "live an active and healthy life, and die of comfortable 'natural causes' at a pleasantly old age". One is not necessarily the other, because the system of circumstances that produced one (our genes) is not the environment (the modern world of desk-jockeying, sitting in traffic jams, shredding gnar pow, and living into our 70s at least) that we find ourselves in or wish to inhabit.
Positing that the diet The Cavemen had is one that we should adhere to is a logical fallacy.Last edited by CS2-6; 12-15-2019 at 08:08 AM. Reason: forgot a word

No joke. The frustrating thing is when these diets make folks lose some weight (which they usually do), the proponents are convinced the diet worked because of some rigid framework of paleo, or keto, or primal; instead of the fact that the diet created a calorie deficit. So that's what I have to listen to them preach about when I'm eating my Reese's.
By the way, what do you teach?

I'm a big fan of https://garukabars.com/ and that's pretty much all I eat for trail snacks. Made in VT with quality ingredients, recyclable packaging and the owner is an absolute ripping skier (snowbird local).
I'm a little biased though, the owner is a good friend of mine. The big pic on the home page is my hand. That being said, I've had multiple friends who have no connection try them and are now sold on them and buying them online. Definitely worth a shot and if you buy more than 20 you save 25%.

My sister and bro in law are 100% sold on keto. It's borderline annoying at family dinners.

I've made a bunch of recipes from this book, and have settled on one with rice and lentils as a mainstay. It tastes like actual food, which is nice when I'm skiing or riding for hours every day. I also easy a variety of prepackaged bars, but old school Nature Valley oat bars are a favorite.

As others have noted above, if you're really getting after it (HR above zone 2), you just need easily digested sugars. If you're going easier you may not need to eat at all for efforts shorter than 3 hours or so.
"Training for the Uphill Athlete", House, Johnston, & Jornet's new book, is a great resource for those of us who like to go all day and beyond.

Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Bunch of clementines in my backpack. Sure they are bulky, but it's mostly water I would need to carry anyways.

Yea, I am in the need for something new . Granola/nut bars were a staple of my work day, but I have developed a nut allergy so now all my old goto's are not gonna work.
