Supper
This combination works well and tastes delicious. The packaged fish is cheaper than fresh fish!
The packets of Ainsley Harriott Couscous and John West Tuna weigh 260 g combined and provide:
330 cal
32 g protein
36 g carbohydrate
(of which 5 g is sugar)
5.7 g fat
2 g fibre
0.8 g salt
The tuna is pre-cooked so can be eaten cold if necessary. The couscous just needs boiling water to be poured over it and to be left for 5 minutes.
Lunch
The Trek cereal bar provides:
239 cal
11g protein
33 g carbohydrate
(of which 26 g is sugar)
8 g fat
5 g fibre
I will also take some extra glucose tablets and dried fruit (which I know is heavy) for lunch/emergency snacks.
BreakfastI am thinking that porridge with added raisins/prunes/skimmed milk powder will make a hearty breakfast. I have been shown that when you pour boiling water over porridge and leave it for 5 minutes, the porridge cooks itself, so it shouldn't use up too much fuel.
At every opportunity I will eat fresh fruit, steak and chips at hotels/inns on the way!!
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
