I’ll be honest: camping is not my thing. But I know a lot of you love it, and when it comes to staying on track with nutrition while you’re out in the woods, it can feel like a bit of a mess. That’s why I brought in Coach Trisha, who does camp and has figured out how to keep meals balanced (and still fun).

We talked all things car camping - from what to pack in your cooler (yes, you might want two!) to how to prep simple meals like skillet dinners, breakfast egg scrambles, and even walking tacos. We talk about the "all weekend snack-fest" trap, prepping ahead for post-camping Mondays, and how to think through food choices so you can enjoy that s’more and feel good in your body.

And if you’re doing more hiking than camping, don’t miss our previous episode that dives into food and fuel for the trails!

Topics Discussed:

• Car camping basics

• Easy meal ideas

• Snack and protein tips for the outdoors
