I've never worried too much about calories - I just take
what I like to eat that doesn't weigh a lot and I don't
feel hungry.

Breakfast: 2 packs of instant oatmeal or Egg and Taters + coffee. 400 calories

Snacks (very rough guess):
almonds (say about 40 grams) - 250 cal
clif bar - 250 cal
Dry Sausage - 250 cal
2 Tablespoon of peanut butter on rye crips- 250 cal

2 cup dehydrated dinner 800 to 1000 cal

For me that would be a lighter, but typical day, and is about
2000 -> 2200 calories.

Sometimes I eat more, add in a pop tart in the morning for extra zoom, or an extra snickers bar for a later day bonking.

So me I'd guess that on a typical week long jaunt I'm running between 2000 to 2800 calories depending on the day. and I'm
a big guy..

I don't come off the trail feeling like a famine victim.. heck most of the time all I end up really craving is a big Latte wink

Doens't mean I'll turn up my nose at a big slab of prime rib tho..
