Description

Learn different and tasty ways to get the nutritious fuel you need to climb your next summit without running out of steam.  You'll find out when it's good to eat junk food and when you need to pile on the carbs, protein and/or fat.  Let my hiking nutritionist friend Lucy teach you proven techniques to make sure you've got the right food in your pack for your next outdoor adventure.   Bikepackers can use these tips, too!
