Energy or protein?
If you want the most energy per gram, nuts and chocolate are best: peanuts give 623 kcal per 100 g. If you want the most protein per gram, P60 is best in the table: 40.8 g per 100 g, or about 61 g of protein and 619 kcal in one 150 g pouch.
On a trip without a fridge: mix the pouch with 30 g of skimmed milk powder and 300 ml of water.
How much protein do you need on a trip?
The same as usual. For active people, sports research recommends 1.4–2.0 g per kilo a day3. The protein calculator works out your own need.
On a full day outdoors, you use more energy than on a normal day. The calorie calculator works out how much, with the activity level “very active”.
Tool: pack for protein
- Count per 100 g, not per pack. It is the weight you carry.

- P60: 150 g, about 61 g of protein and 619 kcal in the pouch. Mix with 30 g of skimmed milk powder and 300 ml of water, stir and eat.
