Scott - Guess it all depends on how much you use per meal. I was loosing so much weight on my hike that I really loaded up every meal with butter. I got LOTS of comments about how much I used per meal. A bottle of Parkay would last me 7 - 10 days. Most hikers I’d say 10 - 14 days.

I used Olive Oil instead of Parkay ( any margerine is really vegatable oil shot with hydrogen gas anyhow ). Olive oil is a healthier means of getting Omega 3 and other essential fatty acids which help the joints survive the hike better.
Most of us also carried hugh blocks of sharp cheddar cheese. The sharper, the better. Reason being is that the sharper the cheese, the longer it lasts in the pack.
And, of course, there is Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, the best source of fat in a trail town. Yum, yum! Give me that Cherry Garcia introveniously.
