hello all, anyone ever bring these along, ie bodybuilding supplements like meal replacement packs to be used for hiking. they are really light and are packed with good nutrition, some are even high in calories. Just wondering. Thanks in advance
Jun 27, 2011 at 10:05 pm #1753887I've tried several of the MetRx brand meal replacement bars. They are jam packed with all sorts of nutritional stuff. Taste great, too. I especially liked the "peanut butter pretzel" flavor. I use it for my main lunch. I do think I need to warn you, I eat like a Hobbit while hiking. Lots of small snack sized meals. Either GORP or smaller granola bars as I go. Oatmeal cooked within the packets for breakfast, and Enertia Trail Foods dinners. Hope this helps.
Jun 28, 2011 at 12:23 am #1753905I second the Big 100 metRx Bars. I've always used them for my lunches while backpacking and I also plan to eat them on my thru hike this summer. Each bar weighs 3.52 ounces and has around 400 calories. And ah, yes the peanut butter pretzel flavored ones are the best!
