We do 20 ounces a day per person for longer trips. We used to do more but always came back with extra. We graze and the biggest deal is getting the right ratios of what everyone likes to munch on while also consider protein and total calories. We home dry a large variety of fruits and make jerky, add nuts, bars and grains and other stuff that is ready to eat. Haven't cooked on a summer hike in 10 years. Everything is in zip lock baggies with all other packaging removed. The empty baggies are used to carry out used tissue. We can put 12 person days of food in a Bearikade Expedition. Each of us carry one on longer trips. Since no heating is involved we leave the stove, fuel, pot, bowls and spoons at home.
We graze all day from zip lock bags kept in our hip belt pouches. Nobody slows down from lack of eating. My wife used to bonk until I stopped to make lunch or break out snack. We basically snack all day.
