Teatree, who hiked this year, had a rather restrictive diet.  Much more so 
than just being a vegetarian.  She has a journal at trailjournals, but I 
am not sure if she is back yet from hiking.  In practice, I only had meat
a few
times while hiking (in town was another story), although I did have meat 
flavorings (i.e, chicken and brocoli liptons) quite a bit.  Really, what
you want is as much fat as you can get.  Carry a 20 oz. soda bottle and 
keep some olive oil in it.  Add 2-4 oz. per meal.  Not only does it make 
Mac and Cheese or Liptons taste a lot better, but it packs a lot of 
fat calories.  Olive oil in ramen is a little strange, but suprisingly
good. Sop up the ramen oil-liquid mixture with a tortilla or bagel.
