Everything I ate Hiking and Running in the Mountains for 10 hours

Here’s everything I ate on an all-day running and hiking adventure through the White Mountains last week.

I tried to put this on a timeline, quickly, that became too difficult to recall when I ate everything. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, for example, I ate much earlier than expected. I had half of it on the Franconia Ridge in the morning, around 7:30am, and I know I ate the other half, but I cannot remember when into the run it was. Instead, here’s just a list of everything as it came to me, along with its caloric content, and macronutrient breakdown.

This was my first big mountain day using liquid calories. I’ve supplemented with them before during long efforts, but for this day I had a bottle with two scoops going at all times. It really helped me boost my total calories up and was easy to drink and tasty too.

One last note, the eggs and bagel were in the morning, about 90 minutes before I started.

Egg Bites (eggs, cottage cheese, turkey bacon, cheese): 340 calories, 6g carb, 18g fat, 36g protein

Cinnamon Raisin Bagel: (half) 140 calories, 29g carbs, .5g fat, 5g protein

Momentous Fuel: 7 scoops throughout the day - 770 calories, 196g carbs

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich:

Peanut butter - 4 tablespoons 380 calories,14g carbs, 32g fat, 16g protein

Jelly - 4 tablespoons 100 calories, 34g carbs, 0g fat, 0g protein

Dave’s Killer White Bread: two slices: 220 calories, 42g carbs, 4g fat, 6g protein

Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars: 3 total, 165 calories, 30g carbs, 4g fat, 1.5g protein

Snickers (share size): 420 calories, 60g carbs, 18g fat, 6g protein

Scratch Energy Chews: 2 packets,  380 calories  95g carbs, 0g fat, 0g protein

Dried mango: 1 bag, 510 calories, 125g carbs, 2g fat, 4g protein

Peanut MnM’s: 1oz, 17g carbs, 8g fat, 3g protein

Totals:

3667 calories

641g carbohydrates

90g fat

80g protein

After the run, I ate 3 cheeseburgers, and a lot of salt and vinegar chips, along with some cookies and watermelon.

In years past, I probably would have done this with half the total calories, just because I thought needing food was inconvenient and if you were trained enough you could do it on less. That’s obviously not the case, and on this day I felt strong, had energy and handled digesting all of this without issue. Thanks for reading!
