One of the reasons I started this website was to share how and where I am able to stick to my health goals while eating away from home.  It is much easier to follow a healthy lifestyle if we never left the house or only had to worry about what we stocked in the pantry!  It can be a struggle to make healthy options while being social or out in the wilderness.  I hope these posts give you some ideas for what to pack or where to stop post-hike to fuel yourself with nutrition you can feel good about.
