Check the latest issue of Backpackers they have a whole menu on packing with 
nuts.

When you go in a Doctors office they usually have a chart for your height and 
weight. I am 6' 2' and normally weight around 215 lbs. The chart states I 
should weight 189 lbs. I never believed it. When I backpack for say over 30 
days. I go down to 189 and stop. I feel a lot better at that weight.,but 
every body says I look like hell

 Now you just did some desert backpacking. Your body weight is about 70 
percent liquid. I always loose more weight on desert backpacking then when 
I'm in the Sierra.
