James was fairly complete in his answer. My much briefer answer is
"It depends". I can squeeze food that *I* need for nine days into 650
IF I am taking food that was selected for compactness. Commercial
freeze dried backpacker meals are typically not very space efficient.
The PCTA has a nice document about the care and feeding of a bear
canister:
