Forget the Mountain House. The stuff tastes like crap, thats why nobody can choke down more than a couple a trip, and it just gives you mud-butt anyway.
Make your own meals, you'll tend to eat more if you're eating something you actually like.
I tend to pack about 24 oz. (around 3,000 cal) per day of dried and packaged(bars etc.) food during warmer trips. You'll need more calories if its cold.

My food weight was around 1.75 to 2 pounds per day. Just got back. I had a little left over each day, but not much...so my 4 days of food could have stretched to 5 with no problem.
