Frontiersmen often got along with a diet of parched corn, jerky, and pemmican. 90% of the claims about increased performance with sports drinks and energy bars are pure BS. Most of the situations where they might make some small amount of difference are inapplicable to normal people.
Just to be argumentative Art...
Frontiersmen didn't run half-marathons, Iron-Mans, or 100-mile bike rides. They usually had a horse or some other beast of burden doing their heavy carrying. They also lived hard and died (relatively) young. Though I'm sure they had some great stories to tell, and lives much more outgoing than the typical American worker!
