===Copypasta Notes===
*Heaviest pack weight will be 27.5 lbs leaving MTR (11.4 lbs of food). I would estimate close to 2,500 calories per day. I'm over 50 so my metabolism and leg speed has slowed. I don't need as many calories as I used to. Ultra marathons really helped me figure out what I could eat when tired and what fuels work best. It's different for everyone. If I ate like this at home, I'd be in the cardiac unit. My general meals are old fashioned oats with almonds and fruit for breakfast or 2 plain strawberry pop tarts/2/pastries. Peanut M&Ms, almonds, salted snacks, dried fruit, and Baby Ruths, through the day. Justin's peanut butter packets, slami and cheese, crackers for lunch, MH dinners for diner augmented with veggies, mashed potatoes, powdered butter, powdered sour cream and oreos for desert.
*I'm 29 with a raging metabolism from all the hiking/climbing I do, and I average about 2500 calories every day on the trail doing 10-15 miles/day.
*I thought I'd share what I'm packing for food on my upcoming hike. I'm eating an average of 3,200 calories per day weighing in at 1.7lbs. Everything is the same day to day except dinner and breakfast, I'm doing a fine mix of dehydrated and homemade recipes.
*Love that oatmeal, I combine in advance 2 packages add a Tbl Spoon of TJ's Freeze dried blueberries and a Tbl Spoon of Raw Sugar, also like Justin's nut butters and builder bars, you look good to go!!! Adding in some powdered milk to the oatmeal or dried granola is also a good way to add calories and improve flavor.
*try to get 125 (140 better) calories per ounce. this works out to 4,000 cal/day for 2 lb/day food
*I'm around 30% for fats, 15% protein, 55% carbs and that will be ideal for my slim athletic build. Normally I eat even less fat on the trail, but this is a longer haul. Oh and that's at 3k per day, which I will be running a slight deficit. I perform better that way though, as opposed to overeating
*I make a big batch of pico de gallo and add avocado to half for the guac. Then dehydrate. This way you have salsa AND guac. It's soooo good. Due to the high fat content, keep in freezer after dehydrated until you use it.
*Skurka has written that his calorie cutoff on edibles is 130 calories per ounce. 125 per ounce is 2000 per pound, a good way to think of food weight per day on long-, or no-resupply trips. I'm not suggesting to use that weight per day, it is just a handy number for rough estimates, 2000 calories per pound.

*I saw a video where a park ranger dumped her dry oatmeal loose in her bear canister after she’d packed in all the other food. It shakes down and settles into all the nooks and crannies, allowing her to completely fill the available space.

===Goals===
*Keep protein intake high to avoid muscle loss (aim for 100/day?)
*Balance salty and sweet
*Check calories per gram ratio
*Aim for 3k calories a day?
