With dehydrated food having condensed calories, 1.5 pounds is about 3,000 calories a day. After the third or fourth day, I get hungrier and I'd either plan to be hungry or carry about 2 pounds a day. You'd need more if going long distances each day.

It's not just calories, though. You will need more fat and protein which usually means a lot of nuts.
