Edited to correct some links: If you are starting to think about food preparation and don't want to be limited to commercial Backpacker "meals" and Snickers, consider this list of ingredients listed in order of calorie density (calories per ounce). I prepared it some years ago using the USDA's much longer spreadsheet of nutritional values of thousands of foods, sorting it by calorie density and narrowing it down to high calorie density foods/ingredients that you might carry or incorporate into your DIY recipes. Includes other info such as protein.?
This and similar documents are? included in the folder: Some of the files there are downloadable spreadsheets to allow you to play with your own ideas.
As you may have guessed already, this is a teaser in hopes that some of you will browse the entire well-organized files collection. I authored a number fo these documents but we have Inga Aksamit and Ryan Rankin to thanks for combining files from Facebook and the old Yahoo groups and organized them into a logical folder structure.?
