Store bought items can be high in salt. It needs to be noted that in a wilderness setting or any rec. activity that ones sweets alot. So it may be be that salt needs to be replished as well. This all depends on the individual and other factors.
Just drink water. But do not gulp it down---- Sip the water.

Slow burn carbs (complex carbs) mixed w/protein work for me. Morning of the climb, oatmeal (not instant) mixed with walnuts or pecans, apples and raisins and milk. When I reach the tree, eat fried egg sandwich: whole grain bread, lettuce and tomato. If it's going to be 4-5 hours in the tree carry a second similar or same sandwich on my saddle. Water and a couple Clif bars also carried.

I agree with Moss about the protiens, for me i carry PJ on wheat pita - each in their own baggie (i case i drop one from the tree), raisins, walnuts, a camel back filled with water, then on the ground is always more pj, a boiled egg and a yogurt smoothie. I like to eat a snack before i climb too.
RULE 1 - have more then you need, someone is always hungry.
