USEFUL INFORMATION:
Food
Your
cook can work wonders with the few things he might have, but it’s
always good to have some Parmesan or some “speck” with
you. Take with you the food you like but remember that altitude sometimes
alters your tastes and the flavour of food. I suggest to have powdered
proteins together with tea or milk in the morning. You’ll feel
the lack of proteins in your muscles. Other interesting things are
MALTODESTRINE, that can be melted in water. Also one-dose GEL are
really useful, but don’t them for the first time during the
expedition. I personally like AGISKO because they are well digestible.
BARS can be eaten when you aren’t climbing. Referring to LIOFILIZZATI
food, I personally don’t like them and prefer some grana cheese
or a vegetable soup. Eat a lot at the BC because the altitude helps
your methabolism. At high altitude you’ll feel a loss of appetite
and liquid CARBOYDRATES are certainly easier to swallow.
