Food may not be the first thing that pops into the mind when you think about a music concert.
Despite all that, concert-goers will need to replenish their energy reserves from time to time.
Almost every person loves food and hopes they can have it within reach, irrespective of where they are.
This love for food is based on the fact that it is the fuel that keeps the body functional.
Potato chips or crisps are some of the most convenient food to take to a concert.
Forget about their bad rap as unhealthy food.
But surprisingly, it has been a favorite among partygoers for decades.
Corn Dogs
Corn dogs may be a good option if pizza is too messy for your liking.
If you are American, you know what a corn dog is.
For non-Americans, it may not be as obvious.
A corn dog is a sausage or a hotdog coated with a generous layer of cornmeal batter and deep-fried.
This American street food has its origins in Texas with immigrant Germans.
The corn dog is the best choice if staying clean at a festival is among your concerns.
You may be wondering why corn dogs but not ordinary hot dogs.
As earlier mentioned, the stick on the corn dog makes it so easy to hold.
The same cant be said of a hotdog.
Cereal Bars
Cereal bars have a bad reputation for being extra sugary.
But sugar is only bad for couch potatoes.
Sugar may be the very last thing they need for the active person.
That is why cereal bars are afavorite snack for most people before hitting the gym.
An outdoor festival can sometimes be more energy intensive than any workout session.
So, having something to nibble on sometimes can be a good idea.
There are different variations of cereals, so you will find one that fits your taste.
Water
Water is often classified as a fourth food group after carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
It is also one of those things that you cant live without.
According to scientists, you could go for weeks without food if you have water.
If water is taken out of the picture, you may have an average of three days to live.
Under normal circumstances, you would need todrink approximately two liters of water daily.
The best way of determining if you have sufficient water is by looking at the color of your pee.
If it looks colorless to light yellow, you are well hydrated.
If it is dark yellow or amber, it indicates that you are not well hydrated.
Alcohol
The relationship between alcohol and most festival lovers is for better or worse.
However, you must go slowly on alcohol if you want a good time.
Too much of it can ruin what was supposed to be a good time.
These drinks are usually ready to drink and have a sweet taste.
However, do not let the sweet taste of some alternatives fool you into thinking they are not intoxicating.
So you may still want to ensure that you take them slowly while alternating with water.
Also, you may consider nonalcoholic drinks if you are in the company of people that do not drink.
If you are from mainland America, you probably know it as a snow cone.
Some may argue that the two have huge differences, but they are more similar than different.
You will appreciate the cooling effect of shaved ice better if the concert is on a relatively hot day.
Energy Drinks
Concerts are usually very energy intensive.
Besides boosting your energy, energy drinks improve mood and attitude.
The best approach would be to have one drink or at least two for a day.
Canned Foods
Not all festivals are a few hours long.
Some can run for the whole week.
So you may need more than a quick fix, and that is where canned foods come in handy.
Also, you do not have to worry about spillage as you travel.
Tinned foods are ready to eat.
Unless you want to eat them hot, you do not need a stove or microwave.
Even if you are healthy food conscious, sweets for a day or two may not cause any damage.
Nothing should stop you from enjoying your regular meals as long as the concert rules allow it.
If you choose this route, you cannot limit the food you’re free to enjoy.
