About These Meal Packages
Whittaker Mountaineering's meal packages provide the recommended ratio of 15% protein, 65% carbohydrate, and 20% fat. These foods are generally lightweight, tasty and travel well in a pack. Calorie content per meal package ranges from 2,800 to 4,000, depending on if it's a training/school day or summit climb day.

Nutritionist
- Climbing Mt Rainier burns about 8000-11,000 calories, depending on your sex, size and fitness level. Prior training will help your body utilize stored calories as a supplement to what you're eating. This is good! It's not unusual to have a low appetite during the climb itself. Eating small amounts of foods high in carbohydrates and drinking fluids on a set schedule provides glucose to your hard working muscles. Eating small amounts frequently also may reduce the chance of an upset stomach.

It was nice to have everything done without having to figure it out. I liked the sandwiches and pizza, and there were plenty of snacks and a wide variety of sweet and salty. The plan doesn't have a ton of protein in the snacks, so bring some extra jerky or something.

The food was high quality and very tasty. And there were more than enough snacks...I even had some left over after the climb! Definitely recommend.

The 4 day food package was GREAT! It not only gave me great sustenance while I prepared for the climb, but the to go package had more than enough to keep me going all the way to the top!
