I'm interested in this too, but planning on spring, so heat's not such an issue. Dried fruit has a pretty high carb load. (I thought sulphur was only in dried apricots to stop them going that yucky brown colour). To me the problem looks mainly to be breakfast and snacks. Usually skip breakfast anyway. Snacks can be cheese, hb eggs, canned fish - I love it all, meeowIdeas?
Is it time to change your avatar, by any chance, Lachance?I love it all, meeow
Haha. But how crass of me to besmirch the memory of my dear Bella with cat noises. She absolutely has to stay as avatar. I need to channel that indomitable staffie spirit to brave a camino. Also love looking at her sweet face. She's much better looking than I am.Is it time to change your avatar, by any chance, Lachance?
Was about to ask if you carried whey protien isolate,low fat anti catabolicI'm not sure if it is good or bad that I am at my ideal weight and I can't afford to lose more than 2-5 kg without losing muscle mass. The good thing since I love food is that I need to double my food intake just to maintain my weight. I tend to eat 40% carbs/30% protein/30%fat which translates to normally eating 100g+ protein daily. That's the equivalent of a dozen eggs. I'm used to manipulating my weight for sport but I don't have the same foods available. And I'm certainly not going to lug a bag of protein powder around. But I'm looking forward to trying out the local foods.
This is fantastic, so much really useful info and pics. Are you much of a wine drinker? Many years ago, they used to sell v cheap vino tinto in coca cola bottles, and frankly it was pretty rough.http://caminosantiago2.blogspot.com/2011/08/lunch-on-camino-santiago.html
I did this blog on the food along the Camino Frances, but you can find the same food plus more on the VDLP

Never say nothing.Nothing better than salami,cheeze and crackers under a tree
Anniesantiago! What great info! Thank you very much. I will picnic my way along the Camino Francis, and hope I do not pick up canned cat food (cat in Spanish is "gato" right?) when I mean to pick up tuna (atun). But if it's **high quality** gato food I probably won't know the difference. Hey, it's an adventure, right?http://caminosantiago2.blogspot.com/2011/08/lunch-on-camino-santiago.html

Sardines packed in olive oil and a baguette is high on my list.Nothing better than salami,cheeze and crackers under a tree
Sardines packed in olive oil and a baguette is high on my list.Although the OP did say 'no' to canned fish!
BTW, what is the Spanish equivalent to 'baguette'? And please don't tell me it's pan.
I will admit that I fell very easily into having café con leche y tostada for desayuno. And, yes, that tostada is that evil white bread. There may have been other choices around but I did not see them - tostada or a sweet roll of some sort seemed to be the norm. If you want to supplement your meals with other healthier choices you can easily do so by purchasing whatever you want from the tiendas along the way. The only time on the Francés, that I saw, where healthier options were available was the buffet breakfast provided to the peregrinos by San Antonio de Pádua albergue - three types of cereals, brown bread, juices ... I can't remember if there was fruit. In any event, their breakfast was a very welcome treat.Bananas are awesome choice! I loved to hear when my fitness instructor said that I have to eat one banana after every training - lot's of energy that body needs to recover and also quickly. And it's so gooood!
I myself are a little bit worried that there is a different eating culture - I have learnt to eat in the mornings (yes, I didn't eat in the mornings for years and had to learn it, and now I have fried-boiled eggs, omelette, smoothies, spinach..), a good warm lunch and salad with some protein in the evening, during the day some good snacks like peanuts, almonds, fruit, etc. And I read that there is very common not to eat straight in the morning but few hours later, and then there is white bread.. that evil thingBut I understand that there is something else to choose from also?

Question for the Spanish speakers - does barrita mean a little bar of bread or does it derive from barritar , to trumpet?
there is white bread.. that evil thing
café con leche y tostado
Gracias y gracias. [Post edited.]Baguette. It's pronounced either like in French or ba-GUE-te (as those syllables are pronounced in Spanish being GUE the stressed syllable); depending on the specific speaker........
.........Be careful with spelling. What you mean is tostada. Tostado means roasted...
