I'm almost 2.5 times that.If you say 120 calories per ounce which is a little on the high side, you are only getting 1560 Calories/day. I'm 6'4" and 240 lbs. when hunting in the mountains I do not want to lose much weight at all. I usually bring in 32 oz food/day which puts me right around 3840 calories/day and I still lose around one lb/day in the backcountry. Which is about 3500 calories/day deficit. I'm not willing to lose anymore than that.
Including my bow I'm at 45 lbs for 5 days. Does anyone else think that Cam Hanes Toasted Bagels with fried Bacon, honey and Peanut Butter is anything less than spectacular?
