Go with the likely maximum? The likely average? The likely minimum?

Generally I would have no idea what that might be at any point in the trip at least not in advance. I guess I figure out what what I start with, but that is almost always with no fuel and almost no food. I do include a few consumables in my count like soap and sunscreen, but they are usually only two ounces or so each.

Edit:
I see that you already answered.
