In preparation for an upcoming 400 mile Brooks Range traverse with Andrew Skurka and Michael Brown I pulled up the old Arctic 1000 lists. Maybe you and I will both find them informative.....
At first I thought the food seemed like way too much, but comparing it to my own lists (8oz each breakfast and dinner, then 8 bar equivalents (ie 2 oz and 250 cals per)) I found that it made sense. Still a helluva lot of chocolate.
If anything I'm impressed your metabolic rate didn't redline the last week and you eat even more (not that you had a choice).
12 pounds out of 45 total pounds was chocolate. That's more than 25% food by weight that was chocolate. I ate it all, except the pieces I shared with jason, who ran out as he brought maybe 5% of his food weight in chocolate.....
Gold mine.

A very inspiring trip to look back on.
And by too much (above), I of course meant too little. Duh.
