Planning Food

Hey ALL!
I'm planning out what food to bring. I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind being very blah and boring while on the trail - as long as I'm getting the fuel I need.
I won't lie --- I'm totally hoping to drop a few pounds while attempting to make 20ish miles a day for 5 months!. . . I want to be on the move and not carrying a lot of crap that has many small parts. I just can't stand it. I'm kind of a set it and forget it kinda gal! LOL.
-I am planning on going cold for at least the beginning of the adventure.

Carrying:
Shakeology
Peanutbutter
Meal Replacement Bars
Nuts 
Dried blueberies
Oatmeal
Chunk Chicken Breast Packets

I hope to hit up towns for nice hot meals when I can as well as get my fruit fix in!!
-I'm really very happy with just water but I suppose I will miss that nice hot cup of coffee I usually have in the morning. . . . I thought about those Starbucks VIA things. . .still considering. .  .maybe drop a packet into a water bottle with a carnation instant breakfast.
I'm very flexible with bringing stuff and finding out what works for the long haul. I realize things will change and I'm down. I just really need to get my vitamins. Vitamins are a requirement for me.

The point is I don't want to be carrying a whole lot of crazy food garbage I need to be packing in and out of the trail. I am someone who likes to eat a bit then return and finish the meal later- I have a hard time loading in one shot.  So going cold seems to be the most appealing to me for that reason as well as others.

I have quite a few friends who will be meeting up to spend a few days or even a few weeks with me on the trail. -And friends I can stop in and visit to rest up - do laundry and take a nice hot shower! I'm so excited to see these people along the way and very grateful for their hospitality! Being from Florida - I know I will feel pretty displaced- so having several friends who drop in along the way will be magic!
