We backpack in for 7 days. I actually LIKE Mt. House meals for suppers, as well as a few cocoa packets for a treat. For breakfasts I have found granola and other cereals with powdered milk and maybe some brown sugar to be good lightweight breakfast meals that I can just add water to.
Mid day meals have consisted of gross protein bars that are chalky and have to be forced down. I also pack a variety of nuts and jerky.
My questions are, what daytime meals or bars are better tasting and light in weight? I need to get more variety in my menu this year, and get the total weight of my food bag down a bit. 7 days usually runs about 12 pounds, and I end up bringing some out at the end of the trip cuz my eyes are bigger than my appetite.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Clayton
