Pack food with confidence before the trailhead. Trail Food Planner helps hikers and backpackers turn snacks, meals, and drink mixes into a clear plan. Set your trip length, group size, and daily calorie target, then see whether your pack has enough energy, how much it weighs, and which foods give you the most calories per ounce. Use it for an overnight, a weekend backpacking trip, or a longer route where every ounce matters. Add servings from the starter catalog, compare foods by calorie density, protein, or serving weight, and adjust your pack until the numbers make sense. Plan your meal pack: • Set days, people, and a daily calorie target • Add servings from common trail foods • See total calories, remaining calories, and pack weight • Check calorie density with kcal per ounce • Track protein, fat, and carbs for the whole plan • Adjust servings as your plan changes Choose better trail foods: • Browse breakfast, meals, snacks, protein, fats, and drinks • Compare calories per ounce and protein per ounce • Sort by serving weight when space is tight • Add the better option straight to your pack Build your own catalog: • Start with common trail foods that work offline • Search USDA FoodData Central when something is missing • Save imported foods to your local catalog • Keep your plan and imported items on your device Trail Food Planner is built for practical hiking and backpacking preparation. It is not a medical nutrition app, diet coach, or recipe planner. Nutrition values can vary by brand, serving size, and preparation, so always check your final food choices before a trip.
