[font "Courier New"][#0000BF][size 3]You got a point.
Although, I wouldn't rely on JUST a package of whatever for a full meal. You could eat a package of that, have 100% fruit juice (some can be as much as 140 for 8 oz, and I usually drink at least 10 ounces at once). If you've got a lunch-box size cooler, and like milk, you could have whole milk with some nutrient powder and that alone would be 200+ for just 8 ounces too.
And you don't need to just pause and sit to eat. If you got big enough pockets, and not full of other stuff, you could do snacking along the way on granola, or candy or somethin'. "Grazing" is actually a better way to eat than the 3 solid meals a day.
I think my thinking is off, because I don't really hike - that's mostly because of my back. Hiking would actually be good for my heart, if I didn't over-do it. Most of my outdoor activity is a little bit of walking, then just sitting around and enjoying fishing or bird watching or something sedentary like that.
