Are you using a cooler?
That makes a huge difference with what you can take

>>1000838
No, we have to hike out to the spot and it's to far to take a cooler.

Whenever i have to pack in i take at least 2 cans of soup, stew, chili, etc. I know they aren't light. But can be awesome for a hearty dinner and dont take up much space.
Trail mix. Mixed nuts. Small package of tuna in a bag.
Energy bars.
M&Ms for my sugar fix.
Rice rice and rice.

That's enough to make a ton of different things. I don't really get this thread though. Just eat what you normally eat at home. If you need something stay cold you can put it into a thermos with ice water.

8 cans of fishcock.

Two cans of tuna, a loaf of bread and a pound of cherry tomatoes and you can leave your stove at home.

Think in simple twenty four hour terms. When you are hiking your appetite is never the same as when you are sitting at home on your couch browsing /out. Meals only need to be the volume that your cupped hands could contain. Choosing the right foods for the time of day helps. Breakfast can be something as simple as a small can of beans or spaghetti and a cup of tea or coffee/ chocolate. Lunch is good when it is savoury crackers, tinned cheese and a cuppa again. Dinner needs to be high protein to give you a full feeling and satisfy your appetite, something like canned chicken casserole. Morning and afternoon tea can be trail mix, M&Ms, sweet biscuits, dried fruit. If you can get pouched food instead of canned food you might make some weight savings but risk puncturing your main meals.

This gives you a full menu, very useful in planning. It's the little things that make a difference like chewing gum and a bit of poo-ticket that make life in the gr8 /outdoors so much more enjoyable

2 days? Just pack a bunch of sandwiches without the mustard, then add mustard when you eat them.

>>1000944
Also peanut butter and tortillas. Or Alton browns protein bars.

Not even lightly smoked meat/fish, eggs or milk will spoil within 2 days in your backpack. Bring what ever the fuck you wanna eat

This is the most relevant thread I can find. What kind of stoves/pots do you guys use for cooking while out?

I'm currently trying to see if I can find a good lightweight skillet for cooking while out.

Porridge oats my friend, light weight, tastey, only need water and a pintch of sugar or salt and warming on a cold morning.

They could march 30 miles a day across country and did alright as well until gunpower weapons came along.

If you'r goal is to be calorie dense but still nutritious, trail mix is the best choice if the cost isn't an issue. Most variants should be 500+ calories per 100g, and nuts(and dried fruit!) are pretty rich in micronutrients while still packing a decent calorie payload. The only way to get more calories per gram is to resort to more refined or purer forms of oils, but this is a terrible idea as your primary energy source for many reasons unless you know what you are doing.

Assuming you would need 3500 calories per day, 1.5kg of trail mix can cover your entire trip with some leftover. However, I'm sure you wouldn't want to eat just trail mix exclusively, so you might want to take less trail mix and swap it for other foods. Assuming three meals a day, then 200-250g of trail mix equates to one meal, so you can use that as a yard stick for swapping out meals.

Since trail mix doesn't require any cooking, if you want other suggestions for high calorie meals you can cook, starchy seeds like lentils and grains are also extremely weight efficient, clocking in 350+ calories per 100g, while being fairly quick and easy to cook yet still rich in micronutrients. I wouldn't recommend bringing dry beans or chickpeas as they can be more demanding to prepare while not offering much to compensate.

Other than that, it would mostly depend on your tastes, in your situation I would plan my meals around a basis of high energy foods like mentioned above, which would mostly depend on how much extra weight you willing to carry for a wider variety of less energy dense foods.
