When I go wild camping I usually take powdered milk, dried fruit, dehydrated potato slices, oats, honey, instant coffee and salt.

@hypercashoidism the thermometer and your subsequent reading will let us know in simplest terms the state of your metabolism and how your diet is or is not supporting your “bioenergetic” needs
@Mulloch94 I have a little experience with this. Back around I bought a canister branded “zombie caffeine”, it was a novelty with a label featuring cool artwork of the undead and text touting its benefits, “e.g. increases fat oxidation making you less appetizing to zombies.” At some point I threw it out. Must have been discontinued following the caffeine powder or energy drink deaths in the news from around that time because I can’t find it anywhere online. Anyone else remember this brand?
Anyway I still have an extra-small line of measuring spoons going as small as 1/64 tbsp which I bought when I started using that stuff but I will get a mg scale this time around to make sure the doses are what they should be. As for brand — it’s not USP but I’ll be going with PureBulk for the experiment… will let you know how it goes
