    I’m planning to do long hikes on Sundays. I will typically burn 500- 900 calories or way more. Do I stick with my current meal plan, or do I need to nibble on a few extra calories? I know last week I was very hungry on Monday, so am wondering what is best.

    You can maybe just try doing like a protein shake so protein and a piece of fruit that might just help replenish what you’re using on the hike and then just compare it to see how you feel. I don’t think you wanna go in add a bunch of food, but you can be deliberate as to trying to just replenish what you might possibly burn but also depends on what your goals are to you know?
