Bikepacking Food! This is How I Fuel My Adventures-BEANS!

[@felipericketts]

Kalamata Olives are a good option: salt, oil and lots of carbs, taste great and last for ever.

[@jazziered142]

Trader Joe make them in little single serve packets, and they're 50 cents each. So good.

[@WiggleWaffle]

[@OutsideSometimes]

How'd it go :D?! (just watching this to double check on my plan for a trip later this year haha)

[@Scor-ah]

For those more inclined to take a stove along...I dehydrate curry and rice dishes and home made soups...they take up very little space and taste better than store bought dried food.

[@kaffeemitcola6506]

I do not have a stove with me when I am out, but I have a lighter. And sometimes I take Potatoes with me. If I find a place where I can make and enjoy a small fire, I just put them into the ember. They are black then, but if you peel of the outer skin, its so delicious. it is cooked with a nice flavor /aroma. That is my favorite Cycling food when I am out for days. Nice Video, thanks for that and you said it, everybody reacts a little different but if your nutrition fits, its a pleasure to go and go...

[@jacksonbangs6603]

As a long distance cyclist I can relate. There were times when I was cycling through the Mojave desert in Southern California where I was getting 5 miles per gallon. That is 5 miles per gallon of water 💧. Great nutrition video and happy trails!

[@LordFata]

Tortillas win! I also enjoyed them with tuna and hummus, just gave me new hope and energy on the hardest and coldest days. Gotta say I enjoy having a stove in colder climates. Just the best feeling lieing in your tent, rain outside, and a pasta dish simmering on the stove.

[@KelsoBradshaw]

Very helpful video. Thank you.

[@duzer]

Glad to hear it

[@Mraquanetchris]

Peanut Butter and Tortillas ! Raw honey on that and it's rocket fuel. ( Only do this when you're actively riding - Avoid sugar if you're not riding. ) Miso Paste is awesome for salt and minerals. Scoop out a finger full and wash it down with water. Sardines are my protein go to. ( I'm not vegetarian ) Easy to carry enough.

[@Chrisb8s]

There is one more thing that I like to get at the gas station on a long bike ride. It's the big pickle in the bag... the pickle juice with all that salt can help on a long HOT bike ride here in Arizona. I remember this one time I went on a 60 mile ride across town and back and I pulled in to a gas station to refill the water bottles, and I picked up one of those pickles. I sat down in the shade, trying to decide if I was going to make it back home and after that pickle and the juice, I was rejuvenated

[@bh995-h3q]

I'm currently on a tour around the US and have been winging it with my diet since I've never done a tour so big before. I feel more validated about my diet after watching this because we're doing something fairly similar. I also got a few ideas to try, particularly that morning nutella/pb burrito!

[@wherecondorssoar7175]

I think your content is wonderful! Beans can become a healthy obsession. So many types. So many textures. So many flavors. For those who are nervous about 'gas', your body will adjust and deal with it. You may have some to start, but it will subside. Another energy dense and benificial food is pure almond butter. It has healthy oils and protein, and I'm pretty sure you could live on only it for a great while - and, it tastes good... Ride safe everyone!

[@feliciachen4636]

I was wondering if that diet would cause GI issues 😅

[@hahamasala]

Way to go veg! I’ve been a vegetarian for 31 years and I bicycle a lot, about to start bike packing. Thanks for the tips. Lentils are also very good for protein.

[@filipg9950]

I just returned from a 4 Day canoe trip, and fueled with peanutbutter and banana tortilla's!

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

Your energy was the nuts but you created a high risk of heart failure consuming bananas. Potassium is a metal it’s highly conductive and can short circuit the electrical charge your heart produces at every beat for the next heart contraction your heart only reacts to the electrical capacitive discharge. Potassium in fact is a greater capacitor molecule per molecule and can cause cardiac arrest if the potassium creates a hyperkalemic state. Which is directly related to a lowered sodium saturation level as sodium does not ever ever bio accumulate. Any moron Dr tells you different they can argue their claims on an open forum concerning this topic. The AMA or CDC or .Gov is not your advocate EVER.

The great thing about canoe trip is you can bring a cooler. Steak and lobster tails first night!

I survived on dried ramen noodles and nuts for a week on a tour cycling trip in Tajikistan! I was dreaming about beans every night while shivering in my tent. :) Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans- all superfoods! I prefer my hands over a butter knife for peanut butter though! :)

[@ray076NL]

the burito with banana, peanutbutter and nutella is very inspiring.

[@v4mp1el]

I never eaten tortilla, black beans and hot sauce before. But woah it is insane, the last 7 days I have eaten it 5 days and I do not get sick of it, it tastes soooo good. Thank you duzer for this easy recipe, lol.

[@mikkokangasmaa]

I think that a normal spoon is even better than a butter knife. You can use the the other side for spreading and the normal side as a spoon. Great video Ryan!

The Sea to Summit long spoon does all the jobs your butter knife does, plus it's a spoon.

[@girlbyeworldhi]

Thanks so much for the great information Ryan! I was on the fence about getting a camping stove for my setup but I think I’m going to go without after seeing your video.

[@kayzinti4452]

I alway like having a stove on longer trips (over 3-4 days) where I am not relying on restaurants for meals. Being able to cook ramen, rice and pasta, etc. greatly increases the variety of meal possibilities. Also, being able to heat water for tea/coffee/cocoa/soup on cold and/or wet days can really reduce the suck-factor. A "pop-can" alcohol stove setup for hot drinks doesn't take much space, one just needs to have a metal bowl or cup to heat the water in instead of plastic.

[@danielholman7225]

Ry, thanks, man, for your rundown on bike touring food. One reason I liked your lineup is because I’am a vegetarian, too, and yeah, I love them beans. I also eat a lot of Raman, peanut butter and I eat the hell out of Nutella. In my part of the country, gas stations carry a sweet called Fudge Rounds and a cousin which is a Oatmeal round. It’s junk food, of course, but really hits hits the spot when you’re on your last leg and you feel like you’re going to die if you don’t get something, quick. I’am sure you know the feeling. Om!

Great info Ryan. I've got to be honest....the pre-"smoothied" beans in the pouch don't look overly appetizing but I imagine after 8 hours on the bike you just need all the calories you can get! I did an awesome overnight kayak trip yesterday with my dog Bella & found myself snacking on seaweed & nuts, etc with great enthusiasm...another great video!!!

[@justpedal65]

Bagels have lots of carbs, and of course whole grain bagels are s'posed to be the healthier choice. They're bulky and not idea for packing, but for day rides or as an option on a menu somewhere out on the trail...they're a great alternative to toast, muffins, and tortillas. Thanks for pluggin the Newtons! An old school energy source for sure. Had a half stack this morning before my ride. Worked great!

Nutella is spreadable Snickers. I like a bag of ground flaxseed. Weighs little and adds a lot of nutrition. Yep, a heavy butter knife is almost counter-intuitive, but just is good kitchen hygiene too. Easy to clean and has bike tool possibilities. Lot of good stuff to think about. Well done.

After 55 years of bike touring I have ditched the plastic water bottles and have switched to wide mouth stainless steel double walled water bottles. The craze of everyone carrying around a water bottle has filled the second hand stores with water bottles. They sell for about $2 to $3 USD. no matter the size. The water tastes so much better and stays cooler. A little more weight than plastic but it is worth the few extra grams /Onces to ditch the plastic. The wide mouth makes them easy to keep clean. The beans and white flour Torts are a protein.

Hey Ryan, no stove is the way to go, I enjoy flavored tuna packets or pepperoni slices, string cheese on a flour tortilla, peanut butter and jelly/honey is a must, I also like granola cereal, with powdered milk/vanilla instant breakfast and all you need is water, and if lucky you can find some berries to pick roadside. Poptarts, Kind bars, paydays, snickers, powered fruiit juice or Gatorade mix, cheese/crackers packs, and cookies. If I go through a town, I will stop for fastfood, and buy extra for dinners or breakfast, and fill up my metal jug with ice and drink. Sugarfree hard candy makes riding hills more enjoyable.

On our first bike tour, we ate ice cream, snickers bars and Coca Cola every time we felt our energy went down. And a lot of chewing gum after that to save teeth. And we didn't gain any weight by the end of the tour. Instead lost several kilograms. It's a kid's dream. To ride a bike all day, eat chocolate, ice cream, candy and drink Cola. Of course now we make midday meals healthier but occasional McDonald's burgers still give a good boost of energy.
