[pct-l] Food for thru hiking PCT

[Gord Freeborn]

Question - has anyone used Protein Powders as base food for thru - hiking
PCT? I have read a fair bit of info on other sites but - the only thing I
get out of all comments is CALORIES per ounce is the most important - some
say the protein powders do not pack enough - a target ratio is roughly
140-150 calories per ounce, I am calculating based on average protein powder
Nutritional Facts info - that it converts to 140 calories per 1.2 ounces???
Any comments would be appreciated.
