I like to think that I'm generally a healthy eater, but when it comes to outdoor activities, I go for the junk It's also a great opportunity to clean out the fridge and pantry because you won't have any other choices once you're out there.
For snacks I'll eat pretty much anything: cookies, goldfish crackers, trail mix (with chocolate chips, of course), brownies, nuts, M&M's, chocolate covered coffee beans, maybe a sliced apple or dried fruit (probably not all on the same trip). For a long hike or bike ride, I'll usually have two water bottles, one for plain water (it's also nice to squirt on my hands and face) and one for water mixed with an electrolyte drink or something sugary. Prior to one hike I really craved something cold and sweet and bought a bottle of peach flavored ice tea. It's mostly sugar, so I diluted it with water and used it over a couple of days. I also like V-8. Even though it's not the most refreshing drink, it seems to help. I then wash it down with water. I also drink it after a home workout. I will admit though, that I'm never away from civilization for long. Even an all-day hike or ride will bring me into a town or two somewhere.
