hi all
on monday I am setting on a six-day hike , I am walking part of the Ridgeway National Trail in South West England, from Wantage in Oxfordshire to Overton near Avebury Stone Circle in Wiltshire>>> OK, I REALISE THIS MAY MEAN NOTHING TO SOME OF YOU BUT PLS READ ON.........basically I will be walking around 16-18 miles a day , across mostly level or only mildly hilly ground.I will be doing this for probably six days straight.
I am a 22 year old male , 6ft tall who currently weighs around 196 pounds.
During this trip I will eating two apples a day and a moderate portion of pasta in the evening, with plenty of water - total calorie intake will probably be around 1300-1500 in a day, max.
How much weight do you think I realistically stand to lose, if any ??? (Hopefully some lol)
I know its a bit of a 'how longs a piece of string' type question , but if anyone could give me any idea, even an educated guess, Id be very grateful !
cheers folks

thanks people, all very good answers - why do say that it will mostly be water weight and not much visible fat loss? I mean Im sure that you're correct, im just interested to know how this is determined? Is there anything i can do to change this? I think I may take tinned salmon along for protein. Is there anyhing that would be a better main daily meal than pasta??

A quick guess would be that you will burn close to 5000 calories a day, which comes to about 3500 after eating. So six days x 3500 gives us 21,000 calories burned, or about 6 pounds. Much of it will be water weight. I certainly hope you aren't going on your hike just to lose weight. There are no quick or extreme fixes. You need to eat well and exercise, and this takes time.

Potentially 6-10 pounds (Yes, I'm from the US and don't know the metric system... what a surprise :-P LOL)
I would suggest that you bring some nuts or other source of easily digestible protein for a snack as your muscles will not be too happy with you after the third day!!! Beef Jerky, Peanuts, something small, non-perishable and preferably tasty to supplement your carb diet.
Hope this helps... only a guess on the weight and have fun on your trek!!

maybe 6-10 lbs, just about all of it will be water weight so no measurable fat loss will be seen
