Re: Ultralight backpacking...good foods to take?

hmmm. I would say power bars or the protein gel packs would be great and not wiegh you down too much.

Als, you should carry water with vitamins to make sure you've got calories in everything you take. I work for a marketing company promoting the new Snaple Antioxidant Waters and I must say they are more tasy than regular water and they give me a little energy boost on my hikes- Im definitely a fan :)
