High Calorie-Low Weight

Today, after messing up Steve's game at the supermarket, I went on a search for the highest calorie and lowest weight food to take hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Here are some of the winners with the highest amount of calories:


WINNER!: King Sized Snickers- about 900

Pecans- 210/serving

Pine Nuts- 230/serving

Chocolate Doughnuts- 300/serving

Tortilla- 200/serving

Rice- 200/serving (10 lb. Bag = 100 servings)

Olive Oil- 120/serving (252 servings in a bottle)

Poptarts- 200/serving

Carnation Instant Breakfast- 200/serving

Creamy French Dressing- 200/serving

Ramen- 380/serving

Lemonade Icetea- 90/serving (8oz.)

Tang- 60/serving (8oz.)

Crackers (Cheese on cheese)- 200/serving

Bread- 120/serving

Peanut Butter- 180/serving

Bagel- 300/serving

Pretzels- 100/serving

Raisins- 130/serving

Peanut M&M's- 220/serving


Considering I need to eat about 4000 calories per day, I think it is going to be rough carrying enough food. I will try to formulate some meals and calculate what I need to carry soon.
