I really enjoyed the thru-hiker link which went into some depth  about 
calories, fat, carbs, etc. It`s an area I need to continually brush up 
on. I`d like it if some of you folks could also give a typical one day 
itemization of your food for long distance backpacking. I find this all 
ironic as  I often  do get a kind of glycemic reaction with lots of 
sudden weakness when out on the trail. Obviously not  eating enough of 
the right foods. At the same time I am right now on a very low carb low 
fat diet so like the idea of blowing it all on the trail. Donuts 
anyone?
