Heading out for several days of hiking or trekking always raises the same question: how do you eat properly without weighing down your pack? Between the high caloric needs of the effort and the weight you have to carry, choosing the right adventure food is a strategic decision.
Why dehydrated meals change everything
A dehydrated meal weighs on average 4 to 5 times less than an equivalent fresh meal, for the same caloric intake. At Lowpact, our dishes are first cooked the traditional way before being gently dehydrated, which preserves flavor and nutrients — unlike industrial freeze-drying.
How many calories per day while trekking?
On intense hikes, needs easily climb to 3000-4000 kcal per day. Our meals provide around 700 kcal for just 140g, a ratio designed for self-sufficiency.
