Trip food

maximum caloric density and flavor for least weight

Heading back to Mexico soon, and this time hope to not have to pay inflated prices for sustenance along the way. Pork rinds are bulky but light, and a 4-ounce bag packs a whopping 640 calories of healthy fat, along with 72g of complete protein. A half pound of mozzarella is 720 calories and 48g protein. I got these two bags for 97 cents each at Grocery Outlet in Petaluma. Sticks or slices would have been better, but I take what I can get. Mixed nuts and pumpkin seeds, followed by ultra-processed pretzels (2 bags for 97 cents, again at GO) round out the smorgasbord. Hasta pronto, amigos.
