Each resupply box (12 in total) has enough food, in theory, to get to the next resupply point be it a super market or post office.
The way to figure out whether it has enough food is a very in exact science. First I took the number of miles in that resupply (usually about 100) then divide by a rough estimate of how many miles per day I'll be doing (usually 15-25) depending on the section, weather expectations, etc. then I roughly estimate that I'll start eating 3000 calories a day and increase from there.
The picture shows a 4000 something calorie bag of snacks for a 89 mile resupply toward the end of the trip.
