Lunch Thread

[7.62]

Endurance athletes will consume food every 30-45mins to keep the body fuelled. Foods that are about 50-60% carb with 10-20% sugar are normally the go, basically complex carbs for sustained energy with a bit of readily available energy from sugars. Electrolyte sports drinks are used as well for hydration and additional carbohydrates. This sort of nutrition is useful if you’re doing a big hard walk with a heavy load to a campsite, or other similar scenarios. For general hunting you wouldn’t be using that much energy so your calorie intake won’t need to be as high, and not as carbohydrate focussed. I use a mixture of foods like OSMs, nuts, some dried fruit, and a bit of dark Ghana chocolate. I’m also a fan of crackers with a decent layer of butter, with salami & cheese. For hard core exercise it’s OSMs, bananas (not that practical, I know!), gels, and electrolytes.
