Did WHW twice now and I've never took more than water and a bar of chocolate or packet of nuts in my bag and trust me I've never went hungry.
Suppose it depends how self sufficient you want to be and the stages your planning but apart from last day between kinlochleven and FW we had somewhere to eat lunch everyday and a pub every night. Both times we did it over 6 days.
1st day, lunch and a few beers at beech tree in, dinner and a lots more beers in oak tree inn at Balmaha.
2nd day, long lie, lunch and few beersin Rowerdenan hotel, dinner and lots more beers in drovers.
3rd day, lunch in pub at Tyndrum, dinner and beers in Bridge of Orchy.
4th day, blitzed over to Kinghouse, had lunch beer, dinner and more beers.
5th day, easy day to Kinlochleven, lunch, a wee kip the dinner and beers in tail race inn.
6th day, stroll across to FW, was there for about 1300 the train down the road.
2nd time a bit of variation on places we stopped but I'm sure you get the picture, you won't starve or have any trouble getting something to eat.
I know it sounds like a nightmare to some but a enjoyable walk with a couple of mates and I put ON a few pounds over the 6 days!!! Perhaps the dried rations should have been the way to go.
Enjoy yourself.
