Wow, that's an insane food list for a day hike!
Preparing that kind of food seems silly as well- fine if you're car camping, but I wouldn't lug that on a day summit and sit up there cooking quesadillas for an hour... To each their own!

I agree--that's way too much food...don't get it.

This is over 4 lbs of food!!! How is that ultralight?!?! Most people would eat 1.5-2 lbs of food per day, maybe even less on a dayhike.

Caloric information to go along w/ the menu would be really valuable.
