High-protein meals help maintain muscle mass, keep you full longer, and provide sustained energy—essential for outdoor adventurers and athletes. Low-carb options help avoid energy crashes and support a steady metabolism, making them ideal for endurance activities.
If you enjoy a laugh around the campfire, shared adventures, and a helping hand when setting up, group camping might be more your thing. Some benefits include:
MREs are designed for performance, offering balanced nutrition with no refrigeration required. On Track Meals’ high-protein options include Slow Cooked Australian Steak, Beef Bolognese, All Day Breakfast, Coconut Ginger Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Mild Chilli Con Carne. These meals provide high-quality protein and sustained energy without added bulk or preparation hassles.
Chief Biltong is an excellent protein-packed snack with no carbs. Made from high-quality beef, it provides a natural energy boost without added sugars or preservatives.
Australian tuna, salmon, sardines, and mackerel are great sources of protein and omega-3s. Pair them with seed crackers or eat them straight from the tin for a no-fuss meal.
Almond butter, peanut butter, homemade nut balls, and mixed seeds (like chia, flax, and sunflower) provide protein and healthy fats to keep you energized. Homemade nut balls, made from blended nuts, seeds, cacao and a touch of natural sweetener, offer a convenient and delicious energy boost. These can be eaten on their own or spread on a low-carb wrap.
Hard-boiled eggs don’t last indefinitely, but are a good option for short day trips. Powdered eggs can be a great alternative for longer trips.
Opt for high-protein, low-carb bars with natural ingredients, or pack protein powder to mix with water for an instant meal replacement.

A:There are plenty of high-protein options that don’t rely on a fridge. Ready-to-eat meals like MREs, biltong, tinned fish, and nut-based snacks are great examples. These foods are designed to be nutrient-dense and shelf-stable, meaning you can stay properly fuelled even on multi-day trips, hikes, or long drives. The key is variety — mixing in different protein sources like meat, fish, seeds, and even powdered shakes helps cover your bases.
A:Flameless heater bags are a real game changer. You just add water to the pouch, and a chemical reaction safely heats the meal inside — no fire, gas, or stove needed. They’re especially handy when you’re hiking, camping, or in a spot where open flames aren’t allowed. That said, many no-fridge meals (like biltong or nut balls) don’t need heating at all, making them great for quick stops or when you’re on the move.
A:For many people, yes — especially when you want steady energy without the sugar crash. Low-carb meals tend to keep blood sugar levels more stable, which helps with focus and endurance. Combining that with a good dose of protein gives your body what it needs for longer-lasting fuel. That said, everyone’s different — some people perform better with more carbs, so it’s worth testing what works for you before relying on it out in the wild.
