I've been thinking about the best foods to eat after a long day of hiking. For me, I'm usually craving something salty, savory, and filling. After an entire afternoon of sweet energy bars and fruit, the last thing I want is something sweet for dinner as well. And don't even get me started on salad. One of my favorite go-to meals is a massive roast chicken. I've adapted and modified a lot of recipes available online and made it into something simpler for those of us who don't have the space for a comprehensive kitchen kit. The reasons I love roast chicken are simple. It's easy to make, packed with protein, and stretches your dollar.

An active body needs energy before, during, and after a hike. I see too many people on the trails who forget or choose not to eat, only to feel faint 2 hours into a 6 hour hike. Today's blog post will talk about my favorite hiking go-to's when I need a boost of energy.

Not all bars are created equal. When you go into your local supermarket, the assortment of energy bars can often be confusing and overwhelming. With so many options out there, how do you know what's best? My advice is to look at the nutrition labels and pick a few flavors that you enjoy.
