What to Eat for Energy on Your Everest Expedition
There is a saying on the trails: 'Dal Bhat Power, 24 Hour'. Food in the mountains is diverse, but eating the right things is crucial for energy during your Mount Everest expedition or base camp trek.
Dal (lentil soup), Bhat (rice), Tarkari (curried veg), and Achar (pickle). It is balanced, rich in carbs, and energizing. It is the most economical meal you can buy during Everest trekking.
Teahouses offer pizza and pasta. Garlic Soup is highly recommended for altitude adaptation during your Everest summit approach. Porridge is a classic trekker breakfast.
Avoid meat higher up on Everest trekking trails. Animals are slaughtered in valleys and carried up. Stick to a vegetarian diet. Always purify your water to stay healthy for your Everest expedition.
You burn huge calories during Everest trekking. Don't diet. Enjoy the apple pie in Namche or the chocolate cake. You earned it.
