Keep the real food.

Hiking and backpacking, I use a Mainstay 1200 per day, plus an MRE entree and side OR a MH Propak, and I also bring a few granola bars, mini slim jims and some electrolyte mix and tea. Can you do just the 1200 cals, yes, you can, but in theory you can also survive three weeks without food.
