Hi , why do you make it yourself so difficult . About the40 km.+ . Its not a race and it is no diet .I just did the 40km a day challenge and did it easily.
However i gained weight. I found i just ate garbage like chocolate, ice creams and crisps and haribo. Then gorged on bread and beef steak.
The last day i got better orange and pomello start.
What do you think is a good diet for an athletic camino?
I thought the albergue saint jacques de molay does great food. I really need a good kick along at about thirty three km.
Got some hard days to do out of leon so dietry advice with availability is welcome.
first and foremost and I read once when someone like did all those kls in one day, " did you see anything" ? so did you so busy walking a marathon...man enjoy the Camino. sit and relax and have a glass of vino tinto..look around and enjoy the scenery. on the diet ask for a salad or veggies instead of potatoes. enjoy man.I just did the 40km a day challenge and did it easily.

Hi, don't be sorry. There are lots of places where you can have a decent meal. That will be no problem. I wish you well, Peter.I think the chocolate and ice cream is OK in SMALL quantities. Eat more than three times/day, but cut back on your portions. This will help you build up your metabolism which will burn more fat. Eat some eggs for breakfast, good protein. Eat more salads. Drink more water and less vinoCut back on salt a little. Just a couple of ideas, hope they will help you. Sorry, I only walked the Camino once, and do not have a good guide as far as better places to eat.
I have a tight time schedule. So i have no choice but to do the long kilometers.

Do a part of the Camino this year and the rest next year. Try to enjoy yourself and don't race to Santiago. That has nothing to do whit the Camino spirit.I have a tight time schedule. So i have no choice but to do the long kilometers.

The problem is i get super hungry, get to the final town and will then eat several blocks of chocolate.
Five kit kats, two bags of tex mex chili doritos, haribo. Then i sort out dinner.
It is like i am a hungry lion in a confectionary store and have no self control

I'm not sure if we are describing Herculean exploits or sharing nutrition advice.I'm not sure if you're asking about food choices or calorie count.

Walking 40KM a day with no rest stops = very unhealthyI dont take rest stops either.
Can you reconcile changing from self-catering to junk food? Why the transformation after leaving France?Nepal was different i did not have this ravenous end of day problem.
I was eating momo, fried rice, no bread. The altitude makes you nauseas as well. Maybe i should change out the white bread.
Luckily for me I have avoided these rip offs and have cooked with my mountain stove.
I found dehydrated mash potato, salad bags, charal vaccum sealed steaks among other stuff and baguettesand cakes.
There isno need to get riped off, you just need to carry some extra weight.
Budget 25 euro a day and eat like a king.
To those pilgrims that blindly agree to hand over your money to a gite without asking what you get for your dinner you are creating and encouraging the rip offs.
Remember to work your schedule into the opening times of the supermarchets and you will save allot of money.

I have noticed.i am a tough food critic.
Falcin, I manage to scrounge this up in mansilla. It was the best meal i made so far. The bread is truly amazing for me. But it is not available everywhere. I had to ditch the bag of salad i purchased from sahagun dias it went bad in the sun.
Fried foods are tasty, the hamburger at albergue molay beat the burger king, and i am a tough food critic.
The burger on whole meal bun would be perfect long k food.
As some people stated already you need to start eating proper food. And I think you better can stop this discussing, you don’t listens to all the advice people give you. It's for everyone a waist of time.Falcin, I manage to scrounge this up in mansilla. It was the best meal i made so far. The bread is truly amazing for me. But it is not available everywhere.

For the protein or the carbs?It's become part of my breakfast routine to read it.
Sorry, I mean that everyone gifs him good advise and the only thing he does is talking about the wrong kind of food he eats and is proud off it , that's how I think about it. Wish you well.What do you mean Peter? This thread is my daily morning entertainment!!! It's become part of my breakfast routine to read it.
40 K days! Your selection of food is in response to your bodies demands for calories. Everything you selected while walking was full of now calories the bread and beef steak when you were done were the catch up and later calories. I would try to load up on carbs at night and in the morning. Think Pasta Pasta Pasta or similar foods. A bocadillo with extra ham and cheese for lunch and snacking would also provide protein and cards while walking. Carbs are full of slow release calories, just what you need for 40 k days. Buen Camino
Happy Trails
When you do that you have to change your eating habbits , Peter.Yes i want to walk jerusalem, vatican, santiago, give me that visa!
Eat once a day a dinner. No breakfast and a little bit hungry to bed. You'll see you get in a sort of trance and loose weight. And the walking goes perfect.I just did the 40km a day challenge and did it easily.

You are so wright, Peter40km on an empty stomach, then trying to ingest all of the calories and nutrients that you need for the day in 1 meal? I can't see this working well at all.
