Tomorrow I'm going to go on a hike, and I need to eat something light beforehand. Any suggestions? Tips? It's going to be a pretty large one, the peak is over 6,000ft.

    I would eat something like some scrambled egg whites and toast then take some fruit with me. Oranges are always so great while hiking!

    Complex carbs for energy plus some protein. Protein after too to help your muscles. Don't forget the water!

    Banana and nuts are great hiking snacks. Have a great time!

    Yeah, eggs are a good source of protein and you may like to add some oatmeal for extra energy. It will stick to your ribs and hold your hunger longer. Special K protein bars in your pocket will also help.

    A that altitud the oxygen concentration is much lower, so make sure that you take and drink a lot of water. Have fun and be safe!

    Okay that's doable. I'm planning on having string cheese, hummus and quinoa in the car for afterwards. The egg n oatmeal I already have...Yay!

    Stay away from anything Special K, even their bars! Special K flakes are only moderately better than eating a bowl of sugary cereal, despite how healthy it claims to be.

    I can't have gluten anyways, and Special K is on my no-no list...

    I'm also trying to add more whole foods.
