Two days food .. works for me

interesting looking bags of "stuff"...I'm curious what's in them?
And where did you find a bottle for the oil that doesn't leak?

Homemade dehydrated meals, no-oatmeal and keto bricks - it is the MCT oil powder and the coconut creamer that help with the calories. See this thread for some of the details:

The bottles are pharmacy food grade HPDE bottles. I bought mine in Switzerland, but I did a quick search for a UK site with similar item:

I've never calculated the calories of food packed/eaten on a trip - but I do know my appetite doesn't kick in for a couple of days.
The first 2 days I have to force myself to eat an evenig meal - if I don't I'll struggle the following morning with an energy deficit.
On the 3rd night supper goes down a lot easier.
I always take too many sweet snacks = packing my fears :rolleyes:.

Zero./nada/nowt /nill some days (I did just short of 24hrs in a fasted state recently on a multi day ) or 600g doing OMAD to a kilo doing TMAD and depending on tempreture and desire.

Fantastic. (I assume you are still on a carnivore-diet?). The joy of fat-adaptation. If it is just overnight then sometimes I will do a fasted trip and not take anything except (black) coffee for the morning.

Not all noodles are created equal, yet....it's those vile packs of flavoured MSG that really dissuade me

But noodles are great if your throat does not work properly :)...like mine.

At altitude, 500g ? a day... drinking much of that in powdered form.
Otherwise, a bit more.

I seem to have it sussed for myself, but its quite boring on the whole, tho when you're tired and hungry its fine.
Muesli, milk chocolate with hazelnuts, dehydrated evening meals (homemade or bought), savoury and sweet biscuits, cheese ( when not too warm), chorizo, nuts, teabags, cocao.

800 g ish.

Any shop, cafe, pub on route is taken advantage of.

My hero has to be Lucy Walker, who led her team to the summit of the Matterhorn in 1871 on a diet of nothing but Champagne and Madeira Cake, preserving her modesty with bloomers and full hooped skirt. Pure inspiration. I wonder what she'd have made of our lightweight ramblings?

Often I just go out with a bag of bread and peanut butter/cheese and bacon in a tube (in Sweden we have alot of stuff in metal tubes good for taking hiking). Sometimes simple is best.

My middle boy (then 14) made a pack of Rivita and a tub of Nutella last five days on the SWCP - supplemented with pork scratchings, those breakfast biscuit things and mini cheddars.

Mine (now 20) might still make that work ......

what are they all? It’s a long time since I ate primula over here

Paté, different cheese and meat mixes (you can buy maybe 20 different variations of these), caviar mixes, mustard, fish, remoulade (think this is pretty much tartare sauce?). Reindeer and cheese is my favourite. Mix with some Polarbröd:

And then some dried älg sausage and you're good to go
