Snacks
Pita bread11000 2.52500BBWent stale too quickly. Try tortillas instead? (No -MM)
Peanut butter1400  2700BBAte occasionally at lunch, but could have done without
Clif Bars38 240 9120BBwe like the chocolate almond bars!
Luna Bars4 180 720BBpointless, not particularly tasty
Date Nut Bars, etc.10200 48000BBthe best - lasts reasonably well, although not as well as Clif Bars, but very tasty. Try the super ginger!
Trail Mix13600 518000BBmade it ourselves from bulk foods bought at the BB. Coagulated, and felt old after not-too-long. But good.
Chocolate    4600TJTrader Joe's, usually fine, but we found it inedible. Perhaps at altitude you want much sweeter chocolate.
Snickers4 280 1120BBShould have brought more
Corn nuts    1510BBAte before starting walking?

Drinks
Gatorade powder1521  1920S 
Lemonade powder1570  2240SLemonade was much more popular than gatorade
Hot chocolate12150  9120SManna from heaven :-)
Powdered milk      not sure of details?
Meals
Oatmeal    13500BBevery breakfast - worked well. Home made: quick oats, currents, powdered milk, bown sugar. Made too much. Brought 2/3 and ate most of that.
Couscous 5200  19600BBour staple dinner, ate most nights with veggie chili mix, chili flakes, and cheese
Pasta 1560  4800BBone great dinner, with pesto, olive oil, and parmesan. Highly unreliable, and fuel inefficient, at altitude.
Rice 800  2880BBDidn't cook
Magic mashed Potatoes680 73360CGood, reliable meal, good with olive oil, cheese, chili flakes, and dried tomatoes
Vegetarian Chili12040 2.85712BB 
Black Bean Mix1475 31425BBDidn't cook
Corn Chowder1625 3.52187.5BBnot too bad
Lentil Curry Mix1470 3.11457BBDidn't cook
Split Pea Soup1560 3.11736BBnot too bad
Sun-dried tomato pesto6 140 840BBExcellent!
Cream of broccoli soup    4080SFirst time, this was fabulous, less popular at altitude
Noodle soup    480BBGood.
Cheese12040 48160BBParmesan keeps well, and goes with everything. Adds easy calories and taste to fast meals. Wish we'd had more.
Dried julienne tomatoes 830  3300BBExcellent - put in boiling water early, as they rehydrate well, though Mark eventually grew sick of them
TVP1735 42940BBDidn't cook
Vegetarian Baco-bits1380 31140BBDidn't cook
Bouillon    180SDidn't cook
Chili flakes      Improves mediocre meals :-) Salt and pepper might have been a good idea also.
Olive oil      adds easy calories! And palatabileness. Should have brought twice as much. Worth buying good olive oil - you can tell!
Total140308 Not quite accurate: pared down ~4500 calories, and added the olive oil.
