Steve, I've learned to eat totally differently on a mountain than I do during a normal day. It's almost like cheating. I'm burning these tremendous caloric amounts, so I can eat the stuff I love but usually deny myself due to bad carbs and sugar. On Whitney, I take a lot of two things: Honey Buns, and one of Doug's Portal pancakes broken up and stored in baggies. The beauty of it is that they consist of both complex and simple carbs - dually needed on a long, strenuous hike.
That's what I keep telling myself, anyway . . .
