I was turned on to string cheese by friend (Dr)Jim Skydell a few years ago.
The ones that come in neat little individual packages you can just peal back like a banana. I will eat one in about an each hour.It offers a lot of protein in a small package and it is easy to store.

It needs to taste good, give you energy, easy to eat in flight, not too messy, filling, doesn't melt, etc. What does everyone use? - John |

I keep two or three in my survival vest. They taste good too. Bill Daniels |

Hi Bill, Excellent suggestion - I have been using the meal packs
for over 20 years. I crewed for Bruce Brockhoff and Brad Edwards from Australia in our 15m Nationals at Hobbs in 91 - I suggested to Brad that he try the meal packs - he tried them and liked them a lot - and won the 15m World Championships at Uvalde using meal packs the whole time. I used the meal packs during my glider flying at Bitterwasser, Namibia (Africa)- so far I have flown 23 flights of 1000 km or more during the past 8 seasons - nearly all with meal packs as my mid day meal. Again, great suggestion for the ras readers. Regards, Ralph Woodward Bill Daniels wrote: "ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com...

I'd go for the Burger King Enormous Omelet Sandwich, maybe two of them......
but seriously......everyone has great suggestions, mostly if you can digest straw.....the one thing you really don't want to do (hence my suggestion ;o) is change radically anything in your diet just for the day you go soaring.....you're possibly going to, especially with all the fibrous suggestions I've seen here, end up landing sooner....and running toward the head if it's not already part of your daily ritual...so.eat what you might normally....no sense in grazing just cause you're in a glider!......drink....and pee.... tim Wings & Wheels www.wingsandwheels.com "ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com...

Fiber doesn't act that nearly that quickly, so that shouldn't be a concern; nonetheless, I agree that a radical diet change during flying is probably not a good idea. I do suggest that if adding some fiber to your diet is a "radical change", then it's probably what you consume on the ground that needs changing! -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

"Balance Bars" are great. There are different flavors, but avoid Balance Bar
Gold, they have a chocolate coating that will melt. Mike "ContestID67" wrote in message oups.com... I have been trying to determine what foods work well for extended cross country flying.

Slow release energy, reasonably nice taste, not too messy, doesn't increase thirst, good for you. Robin -- Robin Birch |
