Thanks I really like that you shared this.  Well planned out.  I noticed during my JMT hike in 2001 after living near sea level (250ft) I was not acclimated to the activity effort of hiking as well as the higher elevation effect of less atmosphere and therefore less oxygen.  I found on the first half I wasn't eating that much but after a week or so I was eating all my daily food an more.  I finished in two weeks with a little over a day plus at VVR. The week after VVR I was very, very hungry and nearly everyone on the south half was asking for any extra food.  My bonus was a king-sized snickers at the top of each pass - energy-wise it didn't make sense, motivation to get to the top all the way..We ran into a trail runner who said if you are doing 10-15-20 miles a day, one needs to be consuming 3x their normal diet in calories.  I ended up grossly underestimating my caloric intake and lost nearly 25 lbs.  Best of luck to you!

Thadeus, from my calculations your menu came out to about 1500-1900 calories (+Jolly Ranchers) per day. Did this work out for you? What it enough? Many recommend around 4000. Am I missing something? Thanks

Great video.  I've been trying to incorporate cheese into my backpacking meals.  I was wondering how you keep the cheese fresh and keep it from spoiling.  I always thought the mini babybel cheese and string cheese needed to be refrigerated.  Any tips?
