Hey /out/ I might be going in nature for long periods of time and I want to make a thread about how to eat healthy while /out/.
So far for my protein needs I am going to stock up on beef jerky, cans of fish and packets of peanut butter(with rice cakes and crackers). For carbs/fruit I will bring dates/freeze dried fruit. I also want to consume greens while /out/ so I have looked into green drink powders(aka spirulina and others), and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these? I wouldn't be able to wander nature for weeks at a time without consuming greens, I would get too constipated and feel terrible. Pic related is spirulina.

Will where you're going have plenty of water? If so look into powdered peanutbutter to cut down on weight.
Everyone thinks I'm weird when I do it until they try it, but I also like taking muffin mix packets with me for when I want something sweet, I eat them straight up without water.

I'm not sure. I'm bringing a backpack of water but I doubt i would be able to use any for that. Plus ive tried powdered PB and Its kind of gross lol. I prefer Justins packets of PB. I plan on buying a life straw so I can drink from a random puddle if I have to. I just wish there was a better way to backpack with fruits and vegetables. I just found out they sell these little almond milks. Should be great they don't need refrigeration and help with calcium

That could get tough when you /out/ prolonged. You can get a Ti Pot weighting a couple grams, a little fire and you are good for hot meals and beverages.
I often forage a bit when hiking. few fresh greens here and there to get my vitamins and spice up the food. If you know what you are looking for you can easily collect a cup full of edibles in no time.

Is this what you're referring to?

I have pic related so im also gonna try foraging some wild greens and berries. I've never done it so I'm excited

Toaks is a good brand, I'd personally take something bigger, like this 750mm http://toaksoutdoor.com/titanium750mlpotBH.aspx
bail handle is handy when you use open fire.
Get a real guide on edible plants, on that area that you plan to visit. It is important to know what is edible, what is poisonous and what is in season at the time of your visit.

If you're going to be out for long periods you're going to need more water than you can carry in your pack. So you should really stick to dry foods or stuff that can be cooked or dehydrated. Without a water source your trip is a nonstarter. Cooking equipment can be super light so rather than canned beans take dried beans, etc..
>not bringing a pot
Get a lightweight pot that nests with the water bottle you are bringing and so does not take up any extra space. A pot is literally the first thing you bring when going out in nature for, in your own words, long periods of time.
You can cook with it and sterilize water with it mainly, along with dozens other uses
Pumpkin seeds and coconuts
