Glad you're enjoying the videos! We're finally on an every other week schedule. A new "hummus for no-cook lunch" video is scheduled to go live tomorrow. :)

See also @GearSkeptic for a while lot more info about proportions of macros for optimal fueling, and more raw data than you can shake a stick at.

[@mtadams2009]

I said the same thing. I did not see your comment before i posted mine. His channel is awesome.

[@mtadams2009]

Did you every watch the Gear Skeptic channel? If not check him out. He has an extensive breakdown of calories to weight for backpacking food. I eat a keto diet so I am all about the fat. On the trial I do eat some carbs because it’s just easier. I still eat way more fats than carbs and my energy level is very high. You are correct you do need to have some variety to keep things interesting. I can’t eat like super hiker Jupiter who eats the same dinner every day on trail. We all roll differently. Take care

[@backcountryfoodie]

Yes, I've seen his videos. The content is almost identical to my masterclasses. I agree with most things he says.

[@lostatsea99]

You mention a website that I could visit but you say it so fast I can't understand it

[@backcountryfoodie]
