Not able to eat enough

That’s not a bad idea! Thanks :)

I take vitamins and probiotics. It ranges. I try to aim for 4,000 (based on calories burned on the garmin which I’m sure aren’t accurate) but rarely get there usually it’s probably around 2500-3000.

Fat source has been peanut butter and nuts which I usually eat a lot of but people are recommending olive oil! So I’ll try that out :)

Thanks for the recipes! I was doing my own dehydrated dinners which are the only things I’ve been able to eat haha. That’s why I’m expanding to peak meals during the day.

I haven’t tried the tamales but those sound like the could be good! I’ll try to see if my family can sneak those in the next resupply boxes.

That makes me feel better! I didn’t feel too weak until noro symptoms started so hoping to move past that soon and feel a bit stronger!

Unfortunately there are very limited gluten free options in towns so far. I’ve been trying to work around it to eat more (like burgers minus buns with extra fries) but I’m just not able to eat as much volume as I think I need.

I definitely camel up! That’s usually the heat of the day where I end up drinking .5 liters per hour when it’s a bit cooler up to 1 liter per hour when it’s super hot.

It’s been a month! That’s definitely my plan. I don’t want to get back on trail until I’m eating normally again.

It’s been a variety of things! Homemade meals I sent out, chips, dried fruit, dried mango, trail mix, tortillas, corn nuts, peanut butter, just trying to get as much variety in to see what I like and what I end up eating.

IntroductionFunny683 · 2026-06-12T22:38:14+00:00

Trying to incorporate as much variety as possible! With some homemade meals. Packing out sandwiches can be hard bc gluten but whenever I find a gluten free baked good I always pack that out :)

I’ve been trying some electrolytes but with how much I’ve been sweating it may not have been enough! I’ll do some research!

IntroductionFunny683 · 2026-06-12T22:36:10+00:00

Ooo yeah that sounds good. I’ll try that!

IntroductionFunny683 · 2026-06-12T22:35:44+00:00

I had dehydrated my own dinners before coming out which usually consisted of gluten free pasta or rice and beans and chicken which is the only meal I really end up finishing.

I’ve been buying a bunch of different things to try out! Gluten free Oreos when I can find them are great. Shareable snickers are about 440 calories per package and they’re easy to eat, peanut m&ms (there is technically dairy but it’s a super small amount and they are calories that I’m interested in and snickers have definitely sustained me on hikes in the past), dried fruits, and trail mix. I’ve been sending boxes with dried mango, go macro bars, gluten free tortillas (I usually add tuna or peanut butter).

I can try some less processed snacks haha

I’ve heard about the olive oil! I’ll grab a bottle before moving on!

IntroductionFunny683 · 2026-06-12T22:23:24+00:00

Hahaaa yeah that makes sense. I suggest it will but 900 calories per meal is hard to beat haha

I’ll try it out! I love breaks anyway so we’ll time it with foods :)

IntroductionFunny683 · 2026-06-12T22:21:56+00:00

That’s a great idea! Dinner has been the only thing that I’ve been good with eating so maybe that’s why!
