Without the right nutrition, Hubert and Dansercoer will not be able to stay in good enough shape to complete the expedition.

They need extra calories to compensate for the physical exercise and the constant struggle to stay warm enough. There are severe limits on the volume and weight they can bring. They can not stop for lunch, but need to gulp down food and drink in five-minute pauses every hour. Dinner has to finish being digested by the time they fall asleep.

Ration 1
In the food table below, you can see the energy content of various foods that they will eat the first fifteen days. The asterisks show which foods are packed together. Those without an asterisk can be eaten separately.
