Camping Diet Menu


The Camping Diet Foods for camping tend to vary depending on the type of camping you will be doing. If you are headed to a camping ground with shops in the area, you will more than likely have a wider variety of foods available to you to choose from as opposed to camping out in the wilderness where you will need to pack enough food and be able to carry it with you to keep you going for the duration of your trip. It's generally a good idea to carry light on a camping trip unless you're utilizing a caravan, however if you are doing a lot of hiking while camping then keeping pots and pans in your backpack isn't really a good idea.

You will need to decide before you go whether or not you will be bringing fresh meats and poultry or bringing frozen foods and canned foods. Another thing to consider is trying to bring only the necessary foods as opposed to processed foods. It's helpful to have a bit of knowledge of the quality foods the body requires to function at its best, especially on a camping trip where dealing with nature's unpredictable conditions can be harsh on the body.

What is essential to the body is a good source of carbohydrates in the morning like oats or muesli,to sustain it throughout the day. And at lunch a moderate amount of protein like tinned fish or chicken to help the body repair itself. You can consider bringing foods from the 3 main food groups including meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, nuts, any type of fruits and vegetables, bread, cereal, pasta, milk,yogurt and cheese. These are basically the main foods inside the food pyramid which consists of what our bodies require to remain healthy and strong.

These food ideas are general but you are fit to bring what you feel is necessary to keep your body energized and sufficient on your trip.

Freeze-Dried Meals: Freeze-dried meals can be quite expensive but they really come in handy when needing a full balanced meal in the wilderness and a very popular choice amongst campers. They have a long shelf-life, are very light to carry, and can be prepared instantly with a little bit of hot water, not to mention it's a complete meal in a box. Freeze-dried foods are mostly nutritious despite some misconceptions about them. They contain fresh ingredients and mostly they can taste as fresh as a home-cooked dinner.

Obviously with freeze-dried foods, despite being stripped of its moisture and put into oxygen-proof and moisture-proof bags, it looks presentable enough and definitely healthy enough for a camper. Most foods can be freeze-dried but freeze-dried foods are a definite advantage for campers, especially in the wilderness where stoves and microwaves aren't close by. All it takes is a little heating and you have a decent meal.
