single day excursion nutrients

>single day

My friend you will not starve to death or get a nutrient deficience after one day so don't worry. The only that might happen is your blood sugar dropping low so just bring a couple of bits of chocolate with you.

Sometimes my blood sugar drops low and my my vision goes blurry, a bit of chocolate fixes this straight away.

Yeah, basically if you're worried about energy for a single-day adventure carbs is all you need.

Bring candy.

Obviously multi-day and long-term diets have different needs.

the carbs I understand, what about salt? I'm planning on drinking about a gallon of water to replace sweat

Bring some lance crackers and pbj sandwich pack lunch if you are that worried about it. You know you can prepare your own meals that don't come from Mcdonalds right?

>>994054
Water and a few snacks... What are you new?

For a day hike I just bring a couple clif bars, a small bit of almonds, and a piece of fruit. Gatorade and Powerade both have electrolytes (salt).

I was thinking about changing it up and bringing something that's pickled for my salt

>>995169
Don't know much about pickled pack foods but cured meats like summer sausages and jerky are salty, tasty, and lightweight

Depending on how hard you're exerting yourself over the course of the day, a lack of salts could actually be a problem. Bring salted nuts and banana (dried or fresh) to deal with muscle cramps. You could even pack a few magnesium phosphate tablets too.

Gu chomps. Electrolyte gels. Boost you blood sugar, keep glycogen in your body, maintain electrolytes. Just bring water too .
