MEALSDonts

• Live off sweets and instant energy foods
  indefinitely
• Empty tinned food into bags
• Open the emergency rations
• Live off fatty foods only (fry-ups etc)

20
Energy Levels

• A typical day in the hills will burn up in the
  region of 4500 Kcal (18.9 MJ)
• Fat is the most energy dense form of food but
  digests extremely slowly
• Thus a heavy fatty breakfast followed by violent
  exercise may produce adverse effects

21
Energy Levels

• Carbohydrates provide less energy weight for
  weight compared with fats, but their energy is
  made available more quickly

22
Energy Levels

• The best solution is to have a breakfast of
  carbohydrates and fatty foods followed by a
  series of high carbohydrate snacks during the day
• Sugars are absorbed more quickly than starches,
  so confectionary should be included in moderation
