Food!

So just another quick update. What type of food will I be eating? Well, an Appalachian Trail thru hiker can burn thousands of calories a day (6000 maybe?). So the average weight you can expect to carry for food is 2 lbs per day.

So right now here is what I have:
• Breakfast - 4 packs each of oatmeal and grits, 4 double packs of smores flavored Poptarts
• Lunch/Snacks - 7 Clif bars, 6 granola bars, 10 Slim Jim's, a block of cheese (no, really)
• Dinner - Ramen noodles with a package of tuna to mix in for each night (I could also use the tuna for lunch if I want)

So that is what my food will look like for the next five months. Obviously, I will change some things, like for snacks I could do gorp, gummi snacks, or mixed nuts. For dinner I could do Knorr pasta sides or rice sides, or mac and cheese of some sort. There are really lots of options.

Also, did you know that Poptarts have 200 calories per pastry? Crazy.
