Camping Meal Planner: Meals and Food Weight for a Trip
Running short of food miles from a shop is a miserable surprise. Counting meals and weight before you pack avoids it.
What is the Camping Meal Planner?
Enter the number of people, days, and meals per day. The tool totals the meals and estimates food weight at about 0.7 kg per person per day. It is a rough planning figure: appetites, weather, and activity shift real needs, and it does not plan menus or dietary needs.
How to use it
- Enter the number of people and days.
- Enter meals per day.
- Click Plan Camp Meals.

Frequently asked questions
Does it plan menus?
No. It counts meals and rough weight; menus and dietary needs are still yours to plan.
Is 0.7 kg per day exact?
No. It is a rough average; cold weather and hard activity push it higher.
