Ditch long lists and grocery store trips. Spend more time doing what you love.

Meal planning with RightOnTrek is really easy! Go to the Meal Planner, select how many days and your calorie needs, and we'll be ready to create a wholesome and nutrition menu for you. For your first meal plan, we recommend that you take a few minutes to go through the preferences questionnaire. It is optional, but we'll be able to better tailor your plan if you let us know more about your dietary restrictions and taste preferences. You can go as deep as setting up your detailed nutrition routine for each meal of the day. When you're done with preferences, the meal plan is generated for you. You can click any product on the table to learn more about it. Click the "CUSTOMIZE" button atop each day if you are not entirely happy with some of the selections and want to add, replace or remove some products. If the meal plans looks off in general, you can always click "ADJUST PREFERENCES" on the bottom of the plan, tweak some of your selections, and have it rebuilt for you. Add the Meal Plan to your cart and we’ll send you all this good stuff, organized by day, with no shipping cost.

When you use our Meal Planner tool and purchase a meal plan, you get ALL of the food you need for the number of days you selected, and it's delivered right to your door. The provisions are packed by day (just how it's organized in the Meal Planner) and the food is customized for your dietary preferences. Breakfast, Lunch, snacks, Dinner, and hot drinks are all included! Each Meal Plan day will have 2,000 to 4,000 calories of food with well-balanced nutrition.

Every time you create a meal plan the app saves your dietary and taste preferences in your profile for the next time you're willing to use the Meal Planner again. When you come back to the Meal Planner, feel free to skip to the plan right away!

If you want to customize your meal plan, and you like the template that one particular day provides, touch the ""+"" icon to the right of the Day # in the main meal plan view... and, easy as that, scroll over to the right and you'll see the day is added as a new additional day at the end of your meal plan. If you want to remove a day, touch the trash can icon also to the right of the Day #. Adding or removing days will not impact the contents of any other days. Then, if you do decide to change your preferences, the number of days will remain at the new value.

Once you create a meal plan, you can switch out products by clicking the ""Customize"" button just below each Day # heading. Now you see the details of that day. To change a product, touch the ""swap product"" icon on the upper right corner of the product icon Now a menu comes up with all the options of other things, listed by category Click on a category, then choose from the products listed below. Select ""swap once"" to change just this occurrence, or ""swap all"" to switch out one product for another across all days of your meal plan. To remove a product, touch the trash can icon on the upper right. This will only remove a single occurrence of this item.

We assemble meal plans from a carefully selected set of the tastiest, lightest weight, and most nutritious trail-worthy products from a variety of suppliers. We curate a wide selection of items from other small businesses and producers who enjoy the outdoors as much as we do. Most products arrive in our warehouse with shelf lives of 6 months to 2 years. We do not assemble meal plans with any products that expire in less than 30 days. All of the products are shelf stable and do not require any refrigeration.

Yes - kCal is the same measurement as ""Calories"", the way the FDA mandates food labels.
For adults, the base metabolic burn rate is 1,200 to 1,900 kCal/day, depending on gender, total body mass and fitness level. Then, add 200 to 400 kCal/hr of active hiking time, depending on difficulty, temperature, conditioning, etc.
For example, a typical adult female who is going to be hiking about 10 miles per day might need 2,500 kCal/day. For car camping trips, you might need less than 2,400 kCal per day. For winter hiking, or long-distance hiking where your metabolic rate speeds up, you might need 3,000 kCal per day or more.
Our Meal Planning algorithm is built around providing balanced nutrition for the kCal/day amount you set.

Yes, the Meal Planner tool can set you up with a complete meal plan to fit Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto, Dairy-Free, No-Gluten or No-soy diets. No matter what restriction you have, there will still be lots of variety too!

For now, we only support 1-person meal plans, and we hope to have family/group meal plans available later in the season. RightOnTrek Meals do come in 2-person and 4-person package sizes, so here are a couple suggested workaround methods:
OPTION 1:

1. Go ahead and create a meal plan for each of your team members with their taste preferences and calorie needs.
2. Add each person's meal plan to your cart
3. When you're working on next persons plan, make sure that you include the same breakfasts and dinners (you might need to do a few swaps).
4. At the checkout please leave us a comment that you'd prefer 2P/4P packages for your hot meals and we'll try to accommodate your request during fulfillment.
   OPTION 2: You can use the Meal Planner to generate the full plans with meals and snacks for your group members. Repeat the same steps as above, but remove all the hot meals. Then, order bigger group meals packages from the store
   If you place the orders on the same day, we'll ship them to you in the same box.

We create RightOnTrek Meal Plans from a carefully selected set of provisions (including meals we make in house!) that are very high in nutrient density and come with minimal packaging. A typical meal plan of 2,500 calories per day will have a net weight of about 1 lb, 5 oz and a total weight of about 1 lb 7 oz. If you assembled a similar set of provisions at a typical grocery store, you might be closer to 2.5 lb per day!

No, unfortunately we cannot provide a complete certified gluten-free meal plan because we produce our own RightOnTrek Backcountry meals in a facility that is not certified as such. Besides the breakfast and dinner meals, the vast majority of other products that will show up in your "no-Gluten" meal plan are indeed certified gluten-free.

We love supporting through-hikes and you can get complete provisions with delivery logistics figured out in just a few minutes. To pre-order meals for your re-supply points along your thru-hike, you will need to place each re-supply order separately. Here are instructions to ensure your meals arrive at your re-supply points:

1. Select your meals from our meal store or create your custom meal plan for a SINGLE re-supply point.
2. Click on your cart to be taken to the checkout page
3. Enter the shipping address of your re-supply point. Oftentimes, re-supply points have a specific way the address must be denoted in order to be delivered. Be sure to research your drop locations ahead of time and check the exact shipping address recommended for thru-hikers. If our address fields do not allow for the full format of the address to be entered, please list the address in the "Additional Instructions" section.
4. Select the date of your estimated arrival at your re-supply point in the "Estimated Arrival" section on the checkout page. Also, denote your estimated arrival date in the "Additional Instructions" section at the bottom of the page.
5. Go to checkout for the re-supply order
   Do this for each of your re-supply points. Each re-supply order will be shipped as a separate order, therefore each must be placed as a separate order. Alternatively, we've had customers place their entire order ahead of time to be shipped to their homes, and then have family members or friends ship their meals to their re-supply points.

Your Meal Plan contents (meals, snacks, drinks, etc) get packed in lightweight compostable ziplock bags, organized day-by-day, for each person, the same way it's laid out in the Meal Planner tool. We put that all together into one of our FSC-certified, 40% post consumer recycled content boxes, and add a beeswax puck for a smooth, non-stick cooking experience.
