All-natural peanut butter (i.e. just peanuts ground) will have the same calorie density as peanuts. Brands which add oil and sugar will differ from that, probably higher.
One item I recently discovered that I'm going to be sure to take more of is walnuts. Walnuts have 186 calories per ounce!
Lard is shelf stable by the way. Just don't get the hydrogenated stuff. If you prefer that kind of flavor over olive oil it makes a great substitute in meals like mac and cheese or when rehydrating beef.
Ghee/Clarified Butter is also shelf stable and solid at room temperature (70s and below). It is 270 calories per ounce and is super easy to make.
Macadamia nuts - 203 calories per ounce
Instant grits - 101 calories per ounce
Olive Oil - 240 cal/oz
Oatmeal - 105 cal/oz
Brown sugar - 210 cal/oz
White sugar - 110 cal/oz
Instant rice - 40 cal/oz
Jasmine rice - 35 cal/oz (I believe both rice values are prepared weights)

I think you have a typo on Brown sugar. Brown sugar will have slightly lower calories per ounce than white sugar due to water content. I wish it was 210..... I would carry and eat a boatload of it.

There are calories and there is useful calories and I'm not sure what is being stated here. Such things like fiber is indigestible. Does that count in calorie count even though we can't use that energy ? I also believe pork rinds contain a almost worthless protein and that might also cause a higher calorie count then what one can expect from it. Not sure if your numbers account for that.
There's this old link that is still very good. Check it out:

Calorie content is determined using a bomb calorimeter. The food is literally burned and the heat content calculated. All calories are equally useful when it comes to keeping your body going. Not sure about the indigestibality factor for fiber.

Macadamia Nuts have 201 calories per oz. In terms I like to track, they have 718 calories per 100 grams. Pecans are a close behind at 200 and 715 respectively.

Butter for some reason is not on the list @ 201 cal/oz. It is also shelf stable.
Also, the data for Ghee must be a typo. It is basically pure fat so will have essentially the same calorie content as vegetable oil/olive oil.

Calorie content is determined using a bomb calorimeter. The food is literally burned and the heat content calculated. All calories are equally useful when it comes to keeping your body going. Not sure about the indigestibality factor for fiber.
Fiber is indigestible. If you are counting carbs, fiber is counted as a carb, but subtract the fiber figure from the total carb figure to get a true amount of carbs that are used by the body. Multiply that figure by 6 calories/carb to get the amount of calories available.
I am glad to find this list. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Now. For the all important question:
How the heck does one carry enough stuff to consume 5,000 calories/day??????????????? Assuming that a constant diet of lard & butter is out of the question.
Think about it. Folks toss the "5,000 calories per day" figure around like it was easily attainable. I wonder.

This food carry was well over 5000 calories per day. What you see here was enough to go me a full day then I picked up a mail drop that had an additional 15000 calories for the next three days. So this was one days worth of food pus supplemental calories above the normal 5000 for the next the days.

One doesn't carry enough calories, that's the beauty of hiking. It is how our bodies evolved and when we force ourselves to walk on a deficit of calories we're forcing our bodies to become more efficient. It's tough in the beginning, but you really can feel the body become more efficient as time goes on.
Besides if one were to carry enough calories, then they'd never experience the Hiker's Appetite, which IMO is one of the best parts of hiking.

Excerpt:
"Thus, Cordain says, modern humans, like all species, are genetically adapted to the environment that their ancestors survived in and that conditioned their genetic makeup. And according to George Armelagos, PhD, a professor and the department chair of anthropology at Emory University, the genotype of hunter-gatherer populations was adapted for times of feast or famine, which can be seen in the way fat accrued on the body. Today, that genotype could be causing problems due to the excessive amounts of carbohydrates some people eat.
“That genotype, once you have abundant carbohydrates, becomes a health problem with diabetes,” says Armelagos. “We have a genotype that was developed for the grasslands and the forest, and now we live in the canyons of cities. With the 10,000 years since the development of agriculture, there just hasn’t been enough time to alter the genetic structure of the human population. … From a dietary perspective, it’s not likely that there’s been very many major [genetic] changes. I think with the development of agriculture, the basic way in which we consume proteins and carbohydrates hasn’t changed.”
