I usually figure 2lbs per day for food, and even at that I usually run out. Bars are what kill me weight-wise, but I hate stopping to cook something in the middle of the day.
I hear ya....I hate skimping on food weight. Its the one thing that keeps me going. But I think 1.25 is the sweet spot for me and my wife atleast. I realize its still a deficit and if you are burning 5-6K calories a day packing around in the mountains you can not eat enough to make up for that.
As side from downing straight olive oil I just don't see how three people can get by on 10 pounds of food for a week.
But everyones body is different, just basing on what I found I need is all.
