Yeah... it's a bit of a poser...

3-4 days on a big deficit is fine and I am used to that...but for 7 days I may be eating into the reserves a bit.

Thanks for the lovely thought, but I do have *quite* a bit to spare.. haha..

Main thing I think, will be to load up with enough good varied protein (amino acids) to recover properly... and to drink enough water...

And if it does all get too hard, there is a possibility to get more food, it's just an annoying detour...

Yes I am QUITE STOKED about this trip now... quite stoked..
