On a much shorter hike down the JMT, I found that the "feeds two"
freeze dried stuff fed one. I had packed what I thought was 15 days
of food and ate it all in 9 days. I usually over pack food.
Although that's not as bad as when I rode my bike from Illinois to
Oregon (pronounced Oregun). I found then I could eat an entire large
pizza for lunch.
I'd say you should expect a noticable increase in your caloric needs.
Ofcourse that depends on what you normally do. If you are farm hand
or a devoted athelete, you might not notice a change. If you are like
me and sit in at a desk all day then expect a big change.
