[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1355011, member: 41338"] Not everything works for everybody. After getting in a horse wreck and going to the doctor, they weighed me and I was pretty heavy compared to what I should be. I decided to make my pack lighter by dropping some weight off my keister. I did what I swore I'd never do. I bought a bathroom scale. I also decided to count calories. I came up with a breakfast that was about 700 calories, skipped lunch and held dinner to about 800 to 900 calories. It's easy enough. Just Google things like "how many calories in a large egg" or "how many calories in mustard" or "how many calories in ham". You get the idea. You find that a boat load of fat on the 'ole bod comes from things like salad dressings (mayo), beer... In a sandwich, I'll use dijon mustard instead of mayo. Hardly any calories in mustard and you can add some tomato for lubricity if you like.
