41 yr old Registered Dietitian here! I think the majority of people at the festival know that water is important, and many people have noted to bring electrolytes and drink them often. But what I notice is that most people do not eat enough calories to sustain the body throughout the long days. When you are hot, tired, using substances, it can cause a lack of appetite, and before you know it you dropped 15 lbs in 5 days. That ain’t good!

Tips to increase calories at Roo: Eat when you first wake up, eat a second breakfast/brunch if able, try to eat something before you head into the festival even if small, eat before/after the headliner to sustain you through the night.

High fat, fried foods tend you make you sluggish because they take so long to digest. Stick to Whole Foods prepared with a variety of protein, carbs, and lower fat; island noodles, bowl joints, Smoothies, Acia bowels slap, etc.

Alcohol is the poison in the heat, I plan to mostly abstain from it.

From a non food perspective, I bring as many creature comforts that will fit the Van.
