Never done any hooping. But here is what i do on long hard backpacking trips. I carry some honey sticks or small jam packets. Take one once every hour or so. For drink i would use gatoraid powder but mix only 1\3 as it says. The SAR guys that i talked to said it works the best for them on long days and when they find the people dehadrated. It always worked for me on 15-20 mile days. Breakfast is always a bagel some sausage cheese and a tomato(the first and second day) Another thing to take is a bananna(you can also get the dry ones) Before you leave two or three table spoones of peanut butter goes a long way.

I drink beer while hooping with 4 hoops and have never bonked. Smart carbs and sugars.
