Great post. I've had the same question but I couldn't put it in words. Getting adequate nutrition on a self-supported tour. I figured on a lot of oatmeal, tuna, smuckers [pbnj mix], rice, lentils, bread, pasta, etc. Gels and powders seem expensive. What might be an okay idea, I'm not sure though, is hard-boiling a dozen eggs and keeping them in a tupperware dish. Also, vitamin supplements. I saw a documentary on netflix called Food Matters. It was about vegetarian and vegan diets, organic food vs processed food, healthy nutrition, etc and I am absolutely convinced that hardly anyone is receiving adequate nutrition, even at home. The solution...healthier eating habits and hardcore vitamin supplements. Anyways...I'll be watching this thread closely.
