Maybe this thread should be changed to "How much thinking is too much thinking." My brain is fried.

The place I save the most weight is in not bringing extra food. Yesterday I came back with only a serving of oatmeal. I think on the next trip, I'll pre-calculate the calories I'll burn and only bring that much food. Along the way, I'll plan to lose 1/4 pound a day.

On the other hand, maybe I should lose 10 pounds in the next month and plan to break even on calorie consumption and burn.
