I have not posted in quite a while ! I am sure everyone has missed meI am well and life is good !
Got an unusual Topic/Question
I am going to Thru Hike the Appalachian Trail April 2016 from Georgia to Maine !
Oh for April 2016 I may just do 525 miles from GA to VA and that is the distance people loose all their weight on ~ ! You go from 6000 ft and snow to 2500 ft and 80* all in one day
1) Almost all who back pack from April until October Georgia to Maine (6 + months) 2500 miles + loose 40 +lbs ?
-------------------- I am now 6 ft 239 lbs and have easy 15 lbs of fat that would be welcome loss , with information stated in this post how much muscle should I expect to loose with no specific gym time for 6 + months . There will be massive amount of cardio daily and above average muscle building and endurance on calves , quads , Gluts , Lower Lumbar , Some secondary Deltoid , Very little Trap usage , some general Fore Arm , Triceps , Biceps ,
2) I have not seen many who appeared to have any above average lean weight on them in any You Tube pod cast ?
3) Back packing burns about 800 to 1000 calories an hour !
4) A staple to keep calories up on the AT are SNEAKERS BARS ?
5) Thru Hikers slam all the carbs they can of any kind and still go catabolic !
6) Due to weight restriction Meat protein is a small part of nutrition !
7) Protein is from beans , nuts , supplements , ie shakes and man made bars !
8) Any thoughts on other sources of protein besides eggs that I have an egg carrier for and only 12 at a time !
9) I almost have to have TB - 500 to prevent old injuries from being an issue ? How can I keep it chilled for 5 to 6 days at a X with no Power !
10) Just an after thought ? Should I pig out and add large amounts of fat stores between now and April ? Even skinny people still loose 30 lbs and as much as 20% of total body weight !
11) All thoughts , Advise , Information , Facts , are welcome and invited !
