slimfast notes... Re: [at-l] Vitamins and Supplements

[cballs@mindspring.com (Curtis Balls)]

I tried Instant Breakfast on the Trail several times and it nearly killed
me.  I felt like I'd been shot after about a half hour.  Pop Tarts made me
gag AND feel the same way.  I haven't tried Slim Fast on the Trail,
although I've used it off the Trail with good results.  What I discovered
worked very well for me, even better than Energy Bars, was Ensure Bars.  I
haven't done a comparison of ingredients in these various foods.   What
matters to me is that the Ensure bars gave me a genuine energy boost and
the others didn't.  I often had a couple for breakfast and always tried to
carry some for snacking.
