Planning food for upcoming UHT thru (self.ultralight)

Howdy! Figured I would just put this here quick to start contributing. I'm hoping this place can get as popping as r/ultralight.

Anywho, I have the vast majority of my menu planned out but have a couple of holes to fill in. My partner and I are planning to do it in 8 days but will see if we can actually get it done in 7 (or take a day for just lounging in the middle of nowhere and use the full 8 days). It's going to be a bit of food to carry but I'm trying to focus on keeping calories per ounce above 130 averaged over the day. I used to through in a complete cookie, but stopped because of how much gas they gave me. It was actually pretty uncomfortable.

I am wondering if anyone here has tried the green belly meals-2-go and if so how are they? Or if taking an extra Snickers bar and calling it good would make more sense. Thanks in advance!

No I've been meaning to compile a lighterpack but just haven't quite gotten the umph to do it (and being fastidious isn't necessarily my forte lol). My kit is pretty well dialed in, but should probably make one just for the shits and giggles of it as well as a packing list of sorts I guess.

I am looking forward to it for sure, though altitude hit my partner and me hard in Yosemite last year. We both talked with our PCPs and got diamox to (hopefully) help with the acclimatization. That'll be included in the write up too just as another data point for others to take into account.
