I'm doing the Colorado Trail this summer and need a bit of assistance planning enough protein and caloric intake. I'm not ultralighting so the pack will be between 30-40 pounds total loadout depending on section water scarcity so of course weight is somewhat of a concern.

Ive got the route logistics chopped up into 7 day chunks (basically I will get to resupply every 7).

Breakfast / Dinner is going to be a mix of Pinnacle and Peak refuel freeze dried meals. Approximatly 800 calories and 45g protein each meal. 1600/90 calories per day base.

Quite frankly this is not enough food for me and would be miserable to ruck on all day long for a month. I eat 3000 calories/200 gr protein normally in a day but I realize having a ribeye for breakfast just isn't happening on trail. I'm looking to bolster caloric intake/protein possibly without doing 3 freeze dried meals a day. Long as I could prepare/package ahead of time then 7x units don't equal a massive amount of weight, I'd consider it. If that's not feasible due to weight or caloric/protein density, what are some options? Please don't say pemmican...it's pretty nasty.

Thanks!!
