A meal that requires a short amount of boiling will use less than a meal that requires 20 minutes of simmering. Soaking dried food before cooking drops cooking time quite a lot. Not cooking breakfast - just a cup of tea to boil - reduces fuel use. With short meal cooking times you could get away with 60-100 mL a day. As you describe, perhaps double this. Think about two or three containers so that you can more easily monitor use, and adjust cooking accordingly. While the plastic fuel bottles meths comes in are solid, in my view they are not soilid enough to take on walk, so use bottles that are designed for bushwalking.
