Youre gonna fail anyway so just bring a few steaks and hotdogs and have a fun bbq at least.

There is no magical formula to tell you how much food to bring
You are going to have to do what people did before the internet allowed them to blast their idiot questions worldwide
It's called "trial and error"
This is your first trip
Bring what you think is reasonable
If you bring back a ton of food, it was too much
If you are hungry, bring more next time
You aren't going to starve to death

>First multiple day hike
>15-20mi per day
Good luck anon
I'd start around 4000 Calories/day.

You're going to want upwards of 4000 calories and you're going to be so tired it will be difficult to eat at all. Enjoy!

Bring several bottles of cooking oil and use that as fuel.

I just eat like it's a normal day. Take a few extra snacks if you're unsure.
