[pct-l] nutrition (1-days food)

[Trekker4 at aol.com (Trekker4@aol.com)]

Breakfast: 1 c granola, dry, no pwd milk (eaten while packing  up)    
Morning snacks: 1 Clif Bar
                         3  oz soy cheese or 1/2 c trail mix    
Lunch: 1 Pemmican Bar
Afternoon snack: 1 Clif Bar
                         3  oz soy cheese or 1/2 c trail mix
Dinner: 1 dehydrated AlpineAire, Mary Jane's Farm, or Natural High  
"2-serving" (rehydrated earlier in a day and eaten cold); I've got 2 each  of 30 
different varieties for my Border to Tuolumne PCT section hike. Some don't  like the 
cost of these; I don't like the hassle of drying my own, or settling  for 
whatever's in a store along the way. I saved enough by catching gear  sales to 
buy 20 dinners this year. 
 
This worked for me, for all my AT section hikes; for the earliest ones Clif  
Bar didn't exist, and packaged soy cheese possibly didn't  either. Boring or 
monotonous? I guess, but I never really think about it; I  have to eat to hike, 
so I don't think much about the eating. I have no interest  in sodas, chips, 
white rice, or white bread; there's not much in groceries that  I would eat, 
given the choice. Now, I might have an occasional oil can -  recent discussions 
having whetted my appetite.
