In 3 weeks i'm doing a 5 day expedition for my Duke of Edinburgh award with my colleagues (it's a work thing). I did a 3 day trial last month but wasn't doing Atkins, so it was lots of glutinous gross ration packs and flapjacks. This time i've planned my week's food using goodies from low carb megastore.
How does this sound (bear in mind 1. I have got to pack as light as possible, my bag weighs tons and I struggle, and 2. I can't take raw meat as we're gone for 5 days):
Breakfast: omelette (dry mix, add water and mix, cook for 30 secs on trangia stove) 1.1g carbs
Snack: (we're doing about 20K hiking a day) Aktins bar or similar 2-4g carbs
Lunch: Atkins wrap or two (3g carbs each) and babybels or packet tuna (won't go off)
Dinner: One of the boil in the bag low carb ready meals 5-9g carbs
Dessert: low carb choc bar (eg La Nouba Silhouette Bar) 1.4g carbs each
Need minimal food that can be cooked quickly, as we're sharing trangias (1 between 6 of us). I know my veggies are going to be minimal but does this sound ok? Got to be better than eating their hideous carb-laden ration packs! Can't think of any veggies I could take that wouldn't go manky in the heat.
Might take sugar free marshmallows for the first night as it's the only night we're allowed a campfire
