Sunday 13th February 2011

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!!
