Getting the Right Nutrients on Your Camping Trips

healthy camping tipsCamping is undoubtedly an enjoyable excursion that allows you to explore nature in the most exquisite and ethereal form. Although quite fun, it can quickly drain you of your energy, making it crucial to pack ample food and drinks to survive the woods. If you’re a frequent camper, you’d know the importance of taking the right amount of edibles which should be heavy on nutrition and light on the backpack. 

Since you’d be carrying a hefty number of supplies such as first-aid, tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, etc., there might be less room to bring extra food items. Therefore, your utmost concern should be to carry lightweight and easy-to-carry supplies. With the amount of activity and excursion involved in camping, your food and water needs will immensely increase than usual. Don’t just pack anything you find in the fridge. Pack systematically by analyzing what kind of nutrition you’ll need and which foods will not rot in extreme temperatures. 

Hiking throughout the day tends to burn a substantial amount of calories (especially if you weigh more than 150 pounds). Besides, camping trips are all about hiking, aren’t they? Remember, the more you weigh, the more calories your body will burn. And it’s not just the bodyweight you’ll be carrying. It includes the weight of your bag and all the essentials in it too. To keep you pumping through your camping trip, you’ll need a considerable amount of fluids, multivitamin tablets, dried fruits, and vegan energy bars. To gain a comprehensive understanding of which nutrients are essential for camping trips, have a look below.  

  • Water 

Most people avoid drinking water while camping to steer clear from the urge to use the bathroom. Do not commit this mistake. You’ll need all the water you can get to keep yourself hydrated. If you want to test how long you can go water-less, try hiking. Naturally, a person should drink 2 liters of water a day, which equals 8 cups. A hiker is recommended to drink 1 liter every 2 hours to avoid passing out. The water from the campground may appear safe, but it’s an illusion. Just because it’s crystal clear does not mean it’s clear of any impurities or bacteria. Pack as much water as you can, even if it exceeds your packing limits. 

  • Nuts and Dried Fruits 

While it won’t be the best choice to take fresh fruit along, taking some dried fruit instead will be the wisest decision you ever make. Dried fruits are an instant energy source, and since they’re concentrated, they don’t weigh a lot. In addition, they hit differently when you’re out in nature; it’s where they originally grew. Besides, you can carry some in your pocket to munch along the way.  

  • Sandwich Making Supplies

Sandwiches can be personalized according to everyone’s tastes and preferences. They’re a low-calorie, low-fat, rich in calcium meal, basically everything you need to keep going. The best ingredients would be olives, avocados, spinach, beetroot hummus, or even sundried tomatoes. Avoid adding lettuce since they’re prone to getting stale quicker. 

  • Instant Coffee and Tea Bags 

You’ll need your daily caffeine intake most when you’re venturing in the wild. It’s an instant source of energy and will immediately improve brain function. Besides, caffeine will grant you the alertness to keep an eye out for any wild animals and unpredictable climatic conditions. However, avoid having a cup at night since you’ll have difficulty catching up on a good night’s sleep. 

  • Multivitamins 

Prevention is better than cure. While everything else will cater to your hunger needs, multivitamins will respond to your immunity needs. The woods are no place to get sick. You’ll need all the essentials to keep you from getting sick. Multivitamins should be on the top of your checklist. You can look up some online shops that provide the best multivitamin tablets perfect for any camping excursion. 

  • Granola Or Energy Bars 

How often do we carry granola bars when we’re leaving for school or work? They’re small and contain all the energy we need to keep us going through the day. The same is necessary for a day out in the woods. Granola bars contain nuts, oats, dried fruits, and seeds, basically everything great to fulfill your protein needs. They’re also excellent for boosting your mood, so make sure you have one in your pocket for a mid-hike snack.  

  • Salad Packs 

We’ve got the multivitamins, protein, caffeine, iron, and zinc; what are we forgetting? Fiber! How can we miss out on fiber when it comes to packing camp food? Salads are the best way to pack fiber to maintain your bowel health. Make small packets of leafy greens, add some sundried tomatoes, corn, kale, and beans, and you’re good to go. Similarly, you can make fruit salads using apples, bananas, berries, pineapples, and whatnot. Not only are they light on your stomach but on your backpack too.  

  • Plant-based Protein Shake 

Since camping can be for days or weeks, why not take your gym essentials with you? You’ll already be carrying water; all you need is some plant-based protein powder. It’s the most immediate source of protein you can get. If you’re avoiding solid foods, the plant-based protein shake can keep you going for hours without them. It’s excellent, considering you might not get a designated time for meals and snacks.

Conclusion

The best way to prepare for a camping trip is to make a checklist of all the nutrients you’ll need to boost your energy levels. Ideally, you should call a family or friends meeting to decide what everyone likes and would be willing to eat. You’ll even get to know if anyone’s allergic to something you were planning on taking. However, remaining hydrated should be your greatest priority. While you’re packing all the nutritional meals and multivitamins, don’t forget to pack a few cheat snacks like candy, chips, and biscuits. You’ll need them to stay afloat. Lastly, the key is to pack light but enough to suffice your cravings.
