I’ve used greenbelly bars as meal replacement and they’re great. My appetite goes down when I’m on the trail and these, in addition to other bars, do nicely for me.
I’ve gone to bars & custom trail mix for breakfast & lunch then a more substantial meal for dinner just to keep my calories up.
I'm headed in that same direction if I can find something that tastes better than Mountainhouse and gives me a better fuel source. My normal elk day starts 2 hours before sunrise and ends 2 hours after. I really don't feel like even cooking water. About day 2 or 3, I've been known to eat a couple PBJ samiches, a bar of some sort, and water from inside my sleeping bag........... I normally take every 3-4 morning off if I haven't killed an elk. On those days, its a bunch of calories, water, and sleep. Then repeat <G>
