longest lasting breakfast

[mark schofield]

What's the longest lasting breakfast, energy wise, that you guys eat before stopping later in the morning for a recharge like a power bar or chocolate? I usually have a few instant oatmeal packets with some dried fruit but in a few hours I start to run out of steam. Although that's probably normal when hiking. thanks, Mark S.

I got to where I ate two packets of oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts added or a hearty cereal with dried whole milk (hard to find) & then I would suppliment with two Poptarts. And 1 or 2 mugs of instant coffee of course! I was usually hungry a couple of hours later.....

My longest and only real meal on the trail is dinner, everything else is just piecemeal. I also eat oatmeal dry, but I don't consider it breakfast, it's just something for my stomach something to munch on, most of the time I eat it while walking. Breakfast is for towns.

Best I've found is to start with a handful of fig newtons or pop tarts, hike for an hour or two, then stop for a cup of muesli (raw oats, nuts, and raisins and powdered milk). That's good for a couple more hours.

I would have Carnation instant breakfast mixed with coffee. plus a homemade version of oatmeal with home fresh fruit, nuts, flax seed, and NIDO.. I would eat this around 7:00 and it would normally last until about 10-10:30 when it was time for a snickers bar or a handful of gorp..

I've never tried that! Intriguing idea... Is it good? What flavor instant breakfast? I'm so trying this!

Oatmeal with lots of dried fruit, powdered milk, and protein powder works okay, but on a longer hike I'm hungry again as soon as I hit the trail.

I often eat a smaller dinner for breakfast - sticks with me longer.

[Tinker]

I'll go with the bacon and eggs, or just eggs and homefries - they keep coming up for air until lunch .

honestly, i don't think i've ever had a breakfast stick for long on the trail. i usually eat about 4 packs of instant oatmeal or grits and a couple of granola or nutragrain bar and then munch consistently on gorp until lunch. but then again, i'm hungry all the time anyway. i think i have a tapeworm.

LOL, what's it's name? never mind, that would be getting off topic.

I buy the Backpacker's Pantry granola and milk for two and eat the whole thing. If you do it with cold water, it's like cold cereal and warm water is more like oatmeal or grits. It lasts me to lunch most of the time.
