At one time I researched hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. It was recommended to plan for a 4000-5000 calorie / day diet. But most thru-hikers found it was physically impossible to carry enough food and they lost 30-40 pounds on average over the course of the hike.

Appalachian trail is a little bit easier in terms of access to civilization.

Alright that is a lot more than I would have thought. I guess I'm just used to strength training and running around.
