What kind of food should someone pack for a 2 or 3 day backpacking trip? Assuming they're trying to eat light. Is just a bunch of protein bars nutritionally sufficient?

I know not everyone can do this but I usually make beef jerky and hardtack for snacks. Carry water obviously, I pack mres to stay light, and instant coffee (powdered or mio). One bag to hold everything.

peanut clusters
dried sausage
dried fruit
multivitamin and caffeine pills

You don't need hot food on a 3-day summer trip.

if you don't feel like cooking
>summer sausage
>pepperoni/dry salami
>hard cheeses
>crackers
>trail mix
>peanut butter with tortilla wraps
>poptarts (breakfast)

if you're cooking
>ramen
>instant rice
>knorr sides
combine these with dehydrated veggies and whatever meat from above

normal fruit = heavy water weight + easier to spoil

in 3 day it is definitely not going to spoil for example few apples in a bag knoted on back pack, also you need water so it is also a nice plus in my book,
one of my go too thing on week long bicikle trips

to each their own, but imo short trips like that are perfect for bringing real food because you don't have to worry about it spoiling, and with long, warm summer days it's nice to hang out around a fire in the evening and have a luxurious meal.

OP here. I'm trying to eat light so no full meals. Is there a reason behind bringing sugary snacks as opposed to just stuff like oatmeal or dried meats or nuts?

If you're expending calories all day it's a real treat and you'd be surprised how much you crave it. I don't consider myself a sweet tooth, but I worked on a fishing boat once (longlining) and went through a 5 pound bag of Reese's in a week. If you're spending the day hiking then pitching camp, you'll appreciate something sweet.

You can always do a dry run and only eat a set amount of food you would pack while doing every day stuff

Calorie dense, light, can eat more of before feeling full. You gonna need the fiber if you only eat the other food I posted. You don't want to get constipated. Stay hydrated.

How far are you hiking each day? In total? You would be surprised how much more energy you burn backpacking compared to your normal day-to-day activities (unless you do hard labor), or even compared to a day hike. If this is about fat/weight loss, yeah you can probably burn some fat by eating less calories than you expend, but you don't want to plan for 500 calories a day and then find out that is nowhere near enough to keep you on your feet when you're already 10 miles out from the trailhead. You can always pack a lot of food and only eat some of it.

I wouldn't be jumping into long treks all at once. It seems to be a good idea to do trial runs of a few miles and 1 day at a time and see what kinds of food are good to bring, and how much. I thought 500 calories would be sufficient especially if I'm fairly overweight since my body would use fat for energy but I'll try eating more than that.

why don't you start with a day trip where you bring both your lunch and dinner, and head home in the evening?
That'll give you an idea of what to expect and help you ease into multi day backpacking

I'll try this thanks

I just wasn't sure of how hunger and being on a hard caloric deficit would feel 2 or 3 days in compared to just one day
