In 1995, I carried 5000 kcal per day, and had lost 20lbs by the time I
got to Oregon.

My Hiker Hunger kicked in around KM, and I even ate some Corn Pasta.

I started at 175lbs, ended at 155lbs, and my wife told me I looked
like an concentration camp surviver when I returned.

I'm fighting to get down to 180 right now. Maybe a long hike will help.
