I've been blessed/cursed (depending on your perspective) with an unusually high metabolism, and keeping myself properly fed has been difficult in the past. I just can never seem to carry enough food. I'm planning to attempt a thru-hike in 2015 so I'd like to spend the 2014 season experimenting with different food setups. Does anyone have any suggestions for food/nourishment that is high calorie and relatively small/light? So far what I've done is dehydrated meals for lunch and dinner with a jet boil, supplemented by gorp and dried fruits as snacks, granola + nuts + powdered milk in mornings, and 1-3 high protein power bars per day.
