p.s. i like my bloody mary hot, heavy garlic, lite lemon
I like to do: 3 - 4 packs of instant grits (300 - 400 cal) with about 1 tablespoon olive oil in (260 cal) & wash it all down with some hot chocolate in the form of 1 - 2 packs of chocolate Carnation instant breakfast (??? cal). My Jet Boil pot holds / heats just enough water for heating the grits & chocolate. This gives me around 600 cal to start the day with.
As I pack I put 3 - 4 granola / candy bars &/or jerky in a easy to reach place & eat about 1 an hr as I walk.
So I guess in reality "breakfast" for me lasts 2 - 4 hours.
Curse you Perry the Platypus!
2 packs of instant grits, a big hand full of my homemade gorp-type concoction, beef jerky, slim jim, coffee.
Kanga- all doable hiking if thats the goal
seriously, you're going hiking with me. and you're cooking. i'll be the barista.
Anything with lots of protein and carbs. Easiest is two Snickers and two Peanut Bars. IIRC, 1240 kcals and 23 grams of protein. Burp.
You can eat that while you're packing up, and all that's needed when through packing is to make coffee/hot tea.
Life ain't bad on the outside. It's messy, warm and stinky on my insides.
Just hike.

Beans. Hands down the most nutritious and longest lasting fuel in your body you can get. Also easy to carry dried and light weight. I like black beans myself.
If a man speaks in the forest, but there is no women to hear him, IS HE STILL WRONG
I forgot to add the fact that we added protein powder to our oatmeal &/or cereal....that helps tremendously
2 servings of PB in a dry cup of of "real" oatmeal will really kick you down the trail as well. I put brown sugar and butter salt in 1 cup of oatmeal in a sandwich bag at the house, and have my wife mail them to me when I'm going that route.
However, I've recently started enjoying getting out of camp faster in the AM, and making old-fashioned oatmeal slows me down much more than the 5 minutes "steep" time that it gets in the Sarbar bag.
Just hike.
Oatmeal stuck with me a long time. However all time best was buckwheat pancakes in those places along skyline drive.
Some protein, I think will slow and even out the carb-burn rate.
