From what I have read, it looks like the typical hiker burns 4000-6000 calories a day. Can anyone provide a sample list of foods for a typical hiking day that provides this amount of calories?
I love Ramen and Macaroni & Cheese and even Snicker bars and Gorp, but I can't imagine how much I would have to carry to provide the correct amount of calories that appears to be needed. What am I overlooking?
