Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Having looked at the various kit lists how the hell are people managing a 2/3 night trip with a kilo of food or less! Either they're not eating right or have just decided to be miserable!

Dehyration nation
I work on 2000 food calories a day and 5 coffees. i tend to be over a kilo most trips but i like my meals to be filling. I also find i eat less when im working hard. Exercise tends to suppress my appetite but im never miserable lol

I dehydrate too and a days ration is between 600-800g for me!
I'm carrying mine in my stomach where it becomes magically weightless.
Only 2 miles to the water stop anywayQuite simple on mine, I've not put the correct figures in the food box. (it hasn't multipied the weights). 700g odd/day for me and 3000 cals comes in at over 2kg.
Edit; all the figures are wrong, I've deleted a column and it messed up the autosum (Excel amatuer). Time to start again.

I can see this getting competitive with the weight so let me be the first to pack 1lb of ultralight cheddar cheese @ 50g total weight.
mountain house big pack is 236g for 1000 cals. big flapjack for 500 cals at 110g and a mountain house smooth oatmeal for 550 cals and 113g
459g so not miles short of your weight
Loving the lists everyone
Some more honest than others, eh Adam, where's yer consumables lad
Pete, no wash kit, love it
Baby wipes and iodine.
Yeah, it's no Cape Wrath Trail list. Feet are going to have to be shown some love, and my feet are hard to love. Prepare to be beaten this weekend in weight this weekend, though I've a feeling it will be the only time as either you or Paul are gonna beat me up in the morning.

It's mainly a WIP base kit list really but may include consumables at some point once they're decided on. I'm a really fussy eater and still haven't found any packet stuff I like so may be trying to do my own.
Just transferred my list over and made some changes to my kit list

Really getting nailed on the food.
Looks worse than it is though as i ordered that lot for 2 people for 5 days, so i'll be sharing that lot with my brother.
Also adding dried food like rice and hopefully be swapping out the heavy Wayfayrer food for lighter Adventure Food.
Forgot i'd ordered some Travellunch and Trek'n Eat packs till i checked my order, fingers crossed they're edible.

My weights are around 12kg, I won't bother with a list just yet as it isn't finalized but my weights include food and "wet" water not an empty bladder or bottle(s). I can't get much lighter without spending money on kit. My 1300kg rucksack cost £25 and my 1200g top quilt is an existing Snugpack underblanket. My 600g gortex waterproof jacket is an ex Army one costing £15. Much of my kit is from Sports Direct or Aldi. Basically, I'm skint!
Been able to get out and enjoy outdoors is the main thing bud, plus its not all about been the most expensive/lightest and 12kg is a nice weight either way
Damn it!!! Now I no I'm gonna spend my day off with kit everywhere and my scales out (which apparently are wrong) weighing all my gear and crying that it all weighs too much lol!! Damn you Shewie!! I will direct the ear ache from wifey to your direction.....

Can't figure out how to start a new spread sheet tbh!! I never done a spread sheet in my life!! Also I want to list all my gear rather than for just a trip as I'm not going anywhere in the foreseeable future :'(

Use http://lighterpack.com/ It will do everything for you, It's great
See the list in my sig as an example.
Have you got a Docs account? You should be able to make a copy and then edit your own. I've also got a master sheet at the beginning with all my kit on, well everything I've listed so far that is, that's hidden though so you won't see it. The idea is to create a new spreadsheet for a particular type of trip and then drag the kit items and weight into it as needed. Right now that's a 3 season ground dwelling setup, I'll probably do a 3 season hammock load next, etc etc
