I have good experiences with powdered egg and milk, but you want to bring more than just this to have a bigger variety of things to consume.

Well, I guess what I was getting at is that say I take rice, as a staple. Rice does not have a huge amount of calories/nutritional value on it's own. If I took Beefcake 4000 (or whatever) and mixed in a tablespoon or two with say, brown rice or egg's, it should in theory give me the extra calories and nutritional value that is needed for pack hiking in the mtns., Right? Rice as the belly filler, mega-man as the calories/protein, and vitamin supplements as the nutrition balance. School me if I am wrong in my thinking, please. Sounds like it should work.

I brought chocolate flavor whey protein powder and mixed it with my instant oats. Flavored the oats and provided more nutrition.

>>61493 Problem with pure protein is it will fuck up your kidneys if you don't drink enough. I would not take the risk of getting kidney stones just because I was at some time short on water. I would rather go for fats.

I would rather go for fats. Well, I was not really looking to go full tilt with it, just say, add a tablespoon or two to say, a bowl of rice or a tablespoon to a bowl of soup, etc. Not the weightlifter amounts, but enough to off set the calorie loss. Do you think that 1-2 spoon full's a day would hurt? Thanks.

>>62284 That guy went went full retard and spouted out some momscience. Your body does not care what the source of protien you consume is, it digests it the same way and uses the same amount of water per gram. Also there are benefits to taking a supplemeny like serious mass as it will have a fuckhuge amount of carbohydrates in it as well as about the same vitonutrient content as a daily vitamin. As an avid /out/doorsman I rarely take it because its not as convenient you would think but don't let that guy turn you off of it with his bullshit.

>>62405 >fuckhuge amount of carbohydrates >protein powder >multivitamin >mixed together Why should I prefer this over the same weight worth of dried food which actually tastes great when cooked?

>>62417 what dried food has a nutritional density even close to weight gain powder?
and tastes good at the same time?

>>62425 I don't even care. One of the great things about being innawoods for me is stuffing my face with food and still feeling great. You aren't ever going to refuel the 6000 cal/day you burn on a hike with pack, even with weight gainer.
And it doesn't matter, you lose some weight on the trip, still feel great unless you go for more than a month, and regain the weight afterwards anyway.

>>62445 makes sense, ive never tried that powder either, was just curious what you were talking about.
personally i wouldnt use freezedried food either, tastes like shit.
id rather lug around some canned beans, jerky, dried fruit, trailmix etc. on a longer trip that basically means eating even less, but atleast it tastes awesome.
i thought the idea of adding some taste neutral lightweight powder to that to give you an extra calorie boost was interesting tho. ill check it out next time.

>>61493 I buy the premade dried foods you have to boil and take them.
Plan to have at least one good meal per week or section hike though. Something to look forward to.
Like bring some sausage for a chili or something.
Dried food anyway, yeah whatever, dried food. It's lighter and packs better.
