Prepped my daily food rations tonight for CO opener, and I'm concerned it's short compared to some the guidelines I've seen posted. 6 days total. Planning to go in with 4 days food and camp on my back, but move after 3 if I'm not into elk.
Breakfast: oatmeal or MH scrambled eggs
Morning Snack: Trail mix with dried banana and mango
Lunch: Tuna or summer sausage sandwich
Afternoon Snack: Jerky or beef sticks
Dinner: MH meal, assuming 2 servings
Throw in a protein or granola bar somewhere each day
I added up the total nutrients and divided by 6 days to get an average daily intake. I don't think I've seen Carb recommendations, but 2,330 calories and 129g protein seems low. About the only thing I can think of would be to force myself to eat 2 servings of oatmeal even though I'm not normally much of a breakfast eater. I also have supplies to make bacon and peanut butter wrapped tortillas, but this already looks like so much food. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
