This affects eating everywhere including canoe trips.
In my lifetime, I've read so many inconsistent dietary studies, reports and advice, often with clickbait headlines. Things that have been reported to be good and bad, some reversing roles every few years, include:
fat
protein
carbs
(which are the only three macro food groups, leaving nothing to eat). more specifically:
coffee
eggs
butter
salt
wine
sugars
certain sugars
saturated fat
cholesterol
seed oils
starchy foods (rice, potatoes, pasta)
dairy
non-organic dairy
all meat
red meat
plants with alkaloids, glycosides, toxalbumins, oxalates, lectins (numerous food plants)
avocado
"processed" foods (whatever the heck that means; butchering is a "process")
etc.
Then there are various and nutritionally conflicting diets:
vegetarian
vegan
carnivore
keto
low carb
low fat
low protein
paleo
mediterranean
dash
and likely the worst of all, sad (standard american diet)
On top of this, medical doctors rarely are educated on dietary and nutritional matters. And long-term RCTs are essentially impossible for the study of nutritional interventions on humans.
We are on our own. To do dietary research and make nutritional decisions. Pick your . . . eh . . . poison, so to speak.
So . . . what to eat on a canoe trip (or anywhere else)? I don't fish, but I think eating fish, nuts and forageable leaves and roots should be healthy.
