Best chicken according to redditors

Keeping your pack light is what's going to be the issue. Here's a few items that I've starting hiking / camping with since kicking off keto:

1. Precooked bacon - The link points to one as an example. Try to find a package that contains several smaller individual packages because once the plastic is opened you'll want to eat it that day. It's not as good as fresh out of the skillet at home, but 15 miles of trail tends to be a pretty good seasoning for me.
   
   
2. Eggs - Eggs aren't likely to go bad in 3-4 days, even at 30+ degrees. I wouldn't leave them in the sun or anything, but I keeping them covered while at camp and in the center of your pack while moving and you should be fine. If you're really nervous you can look into ways to recreate an artificial "bloom" to protect the egg from bacteria and/or make a sleeve out of Reflectix for your RIGID egg container.
   
   
3. Precooked Chicken - It's not certainly not fresh-off-the-grill chicken, but it's 50 grams of protein. I usually either add this to boiling water with veggies (mushrooms, carrots, onions, and garlic) or throw it on top of anything green and leafy that I bring with me.
   
   
4. Cheese - Other folks have said it as well but cheese is freaking awesome. Get something hard that will last longer like a Jack or Cheddar. There is a ton of protein and fat in cheese and it can be eaten alone or added to everything else you're bringing. It's a force multiplier.
   
   
5. Olive Oil - I usually bring a silicone bottle of Olive oil with me. This is like the cheese in that you can add it to almost everything and you're getting about 15 grams of fat (120 calories) per tablespoon. Use this to saute your veggies, or as a salad dressing on some greens.
   
   
6. Fresh Veggies - Heavy compared to rice / pasta dishes but way more versatile. You can make a soup, or saute them and make a messy camp omelet. Hell just chop them up, use some olive oil, and put them in a foil packet for the fire. Easy and delicious.
   
   
7. Protein Powder / Heavy Whipping Cream - Something that I've been doing is using protein powder and a thermos of Heavy Whipping Cream to supplement any food I bring. Both are fairly calorie dense. Even if you don't want to do the protein powder, just making a cup of coffee / tea with a 1/8 - 1/4 cup of HWC can give you a ton of calories to start your day with. Using Keto Chow and a reliable water source I can survive fairly well on less than 400 grams of 'food' a day.

This thread is way better than anything googling could produce. I just want to verify though. We're talking about canned chicken in water like this right?

Here's an easy, tasty, healthy, fast recipe.

If you go to the tuna fish aisle at the store, you'll see mylar packets of pre-cooked chicken that are popular as a backpacking meal ingredient.

> People can't go without food. If all but the most expensive foods have trans then I guess it just sucks to be the poor people

Nah. I make little, but buy frozen chicken breast for protein and potatoes for carbs. Neither has trans-fat, both are cheaper than processed junk. I do enjoy processed junk from time to time, but that's beside the point.

> They can't afford to make the healthier option, so they get to enjoy their heart disease inducing foods.

Again, don't make that decision if you don't want that outcome.

12 frozen pizzas = $83.15

20lbs of chicken = $108

Go to your local grocer and check out potato prices. Buy a couple apples at 1.50lb.

I get it. It sucks. Its easy to throw some processed shit in the microwave and call it good. But its not good for you, so if health is important to you don't do it. Why demand the government do this for you though? Also, why do people give such little respect to people with less than them? Do you think that just because you have a higher social status than them you should advocate for the government being involved in their decisions? Is that really your idea of empowerment?

> The company, who only exists because the government allows it to exist

Oh I see, like a king right? The government says what goes?

Not in the US(Constitutionally anyway. People are working on that though). The government is granted rights. They don't have them de facto. However that is changing, and there are movements in the west where people want politicians to have more de facto control over their lives. This is what I don't understand.


> You can choose not to buy a home built with asbestos. You can choose to avood buildings built with asbestos. Government should just require labeling such buildings, right?

Nah. Try again. Government buildings, schools, markets. You have to go in certain buildings. You do not have to buy certain foods.

A chicken fillet sandwich is not a chicken burger. To make the sandwich: you take a bread roll (demi-baguette) and add mayo, lettuce, some grated cheddar and a little finely sliced raw onion (last two are optional). Then you take a southern fried chicken fillet (something like this https://www.amazon.com/Tyson-Premium-Cooked-Breaded-Chicken/dp/B073XZQ8M2 I figure you'd get something like this in any frozen food section of a supermarket) and slice it into diagonal strips, then lay that into the roll. And that's it. Perfect.
