Help me grade my backcountry food

I've grown accustom to MREs after 13.5+ yrs in the military so it doesn't bother me. I'll probably take a few of the heaters from the MREs just in case I change my mind. I may look into this for next year, but it's out for this season. Another reason is because I already spent a lot of money...

If you have trouble with the elevation get a bottle of Altitude Adjustment and Hydrate and Recover from Wilderness Athlete. It'll help, even if you live at a higher altitude.

How much weight are you packing in your backcountry pack? I expect to get different weights depending on the situation/type of hunt/abilities of hunter, but I'm curious. Do you include the weight of your bow when you calculate this all out? Do you allow a percentage to clothing, food, sleep...
