Some foods lighter backpack
Those who like to travel light in the desert are always looking for lighter foods Backpack that they can take. Of course, the light is not cookies or other things that have little weight by volume. When hiking mainly calorie needs, so lighter foods are those that offer the most calories for weight. Here are some to consider, as well as two other ways to reduce the weight of food you carry with you.
Nuts and seeds
For the moment, one of the healthiest foods and bags of calories you can take with you the nuts and seeds. Mixed nuts, for example, typically have 170 calories per ounce, as well as proteins and amino acids needs. Sunflower seeds are similar (slightly less calories if raw). This compares with only 110 calories per ounce of pure sugar or 75 calories for the bread.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is not only one of the healthiest (and most delicious) oils that you can eat but comes with 240 calories per ounce. This is the more calories you can make the weight, making it the lightest of hiking food. It can be performed safely in a small plastic bottle, and is used for vegetable-based salad wild vegetables, pasta, or just for dipping bread. An additional advantage in cold weather is that fats produce heat as they digest.
Other foods Road light
Some crackers have 120 calories per ounce, and has about 150 chocolate. Look at the nutrition label and try to make foods that have more than 110 calories per ounce. This is the average, by the way, for all carbohydrates in the form of base or sugar, pasta or potato flakes. Surely you can mix foods like nuts Energy with a few carrots or other foods low in calories was for health reasons, but try to keep the global average, up there, if you want to go light.
What should you aim your calories? I try to keep my average above 120 per ounce. With one-half pound of food per day which means about 2900 calories. You'll probably burn a little more than that daily walk in the half, but losing a pound or two is not a disaster for most people.
Moving from camping stove
Another way to save weight in the backpack back to food is only food that does not have to cook. This will be a problem for those who can not learn without a hot meal, but some we take a break from cooking and washing pots. There is no reason you can not have a healthy diet without cooking, and most backpackers have received in the warmer months, so why not try a trip without cooking facilities?
You increase the weight of the stove and fuel. It is a compromise that gets a hot meal without using the computer. Just some hot dogs, frozen in a sealed plastic bag and wrapped in clothes in the bag to insulate them. In this way, you must have a full day to thaw, so the second day, you can simmer.
More radical weight saving
If you really want to go light in your walk of food there are two other tricks to use. The first is called carbohydrate loading. It is basically to avoid carbohydrates for a week or two and then eat many of them in two days before your trip, what your body to store them. With this routine, your body can store up to 1,800 calories of carbohydrates in the blood, liver and muscles as glycogen. This means you can pack less food (well, he gets that is a half day).
Another technique, less extreme and perhaps more pleasant is to learn enough about edible wild plants to supplement their diet. I ate hundreds wild raspberries calories in a twenty-minute break during a hike in the mountains of Colorado. If you know the seasons for different foods of plant origin Wherever you go, you basically can replace some weight load with his knowledge. Even if you're not going to eat edible wild plants, knowing them well means you can more safely transport hiking minimum amount of food you think you will need.
