I do tend to do things differently,
Top left, down,
Butter,,oil, drink mix, maple syrup, sausage,beef,bacon, tomatoes and sauce, vegetables mixed, soup mixes, cheese, sour cream, gravy, mashed potatoes mix, Bisquick, potato pancake mix, noodles, chocolate, fruit, nuts, coffee.
About a dozen meals, soups, drinks, and snacks for a 6 nite trip (I make small serving when alone).
From this I can mix and match what I want to make, spaghetti, stroganoff, stews, chili (that just reminded me to add a bag of spices), pancakes, biscuits, etc.

PS: just added dried chili peppers, Italian herbs, garlic salt, salt and pepper, bh

quote boonie: "What's that food bag for 6 days weigh, butthead?"
8 Lbs. 2 oz. with spices and a group meal (3 solo paddlers) of potatoes Au Gratin potatoes and ham, added.
I have packed this way for several years and the weight and volume has been consistent, tending slightly smaller with improved ingredients. I will end up after 6 days with a spare 1 1/2 lbs. or so of extra food left. I consider that a good emergency buffer.

Have never broken it down that far. Meals are planed around 1/4 lb meat servings ( 1 1/2 lbs beef=6 servings, before drying). Cook kit is a mix, mostly MSR Alpine Gourmet frypan bowl lid , add a cup and small bowl. Stove is MSR Dragonfly, and 1 22 oz bottle of fuel. Reynolds Release al. foil for impromptu ovens. Reconstituted and prepared meals probably hover around 12 to 16 oz. per. Bag is a 10 liter silnylon roll top bag that fits into a Ursak.

Sunny, I do either, as seems fit for the campsite. Main reason I went with the Ursak was rodent damage to food bags and contents. Have no problems since!
