Yes and no - I keep sorta track of the calories - but more importantly - I don't wanna be hungry! I want to enjoy myself.

The flip side of that is I'm not a picky eater, so I'm normally
happy with good prepackaged freeze dried dinners, or a homemade freezer bag cooking (just add boiling water) type thing..

The last time I was down your way I spent 8 days on South Coast Trek, Cockle Creek to Melaleuca.

I took 8 days worth of food that I actually brought most of from canada. I brought 8 freeze dried dinners, 5 commercially purchased "natural high", and three self-made "FBC style" (a couple of sarbar favorites from trailcooking.com). I brought 8 breakfasts of half mountain house freeze dried cooked egg and bacon or ham and peppers combined with half an idahoan dehydrated potatoes (I brought all the same thing for a reason)
I brought some snacks and bought some there.

I traded good egg and tater breakfasts for oatmeal to break up the monotoy, the europeans and one tazzie I was mostly hiking with had supplied in melbourne and hobart grocery stores and had nothing but oatmeal, (and nasty instant coffee) so they got a little desperate. By the end I was close to getting offers of souls and sexual favors for two via coffees and a egg and taters breakfast

My goal is a good breakfast, good dinner, and probably four "snacks" during the day while hiking.

My food list is in the gear link from those pics:

look at the bottom.

Pack started out on the trail at about 27 pounds with that gear, food, fuel and a litre of water.
