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.

I had gotten so crazy busy two weeks before my trip buying and organizing and traveling with food was just out. I had time to get Rainier and that was about it.
I ordered the 5 day meal package and it did the trick! One Stop Shop! Glad they had this service. I would buy this again.

I was impressed with the variety, quantity, and quality of the meals. I never used to eat enough when climbing. These meals provided the fuel necessary to summit, get back, and feel great! THANKS WHITTAKER!
