I looked at the website. It is a resource.

I have to question a Table with the heading TOP 10 Hiking Foods - Highest In Calories with these items:
Rice 130 cal for 100 g(3.53 oz) serving - 36 cal/oz ratio
Pasta 158 cal in 100g serving - 44 cal/oz ratio Cous Cous is also a pasta but more dense and with a lower cal/oz ratio. Why isn't quinoa on this list as it supersedes the cal/oz and nutrients of these staples?
Red lentils 116 cal in 100 g serving - 32 cal/oz ratio
Tuna in oil 198 cal in 100 g serving - 56 cal/oz ratio
Apricots 250 cal in 100 g serving - 71 cal/oz
Salmon jerky 257 cal in 100 g serving - 72/cal/oz
Beef jerky 286 cal for 100 g serving - 81 cal/oz
These items(mostly single items, NOT many ingredient meals) might be popular but highest cal/oz ratios is questionable. Biggest help in the table from my perspective is to learn how to attempt to balance out a lower cal/oz ratio item with other much higher cal/oz and nutrient dense items to raise the overall cal/oz and nutrient density to meet individuals needs.
Dogwood. Let's make a better list.
That group has been making lists of calorie dense and nutrient dense.
I work on making those lists myself, however I do not have the software to do so.
The USDA has only limited software online and I do not have software that dietitians have.
There are some PDF's for download at that Facebook group "Files" section.

If bacon isn't going to make it high on the list prolly no one here will look at it.
I made a PDF Protein - all foods, for example, using the USDA National Nutrient Data Base.
I have no idea how to upload a PDF.
I'm curious.. Are those calorie counts for dry foods, or for cooked, perhaps with added fat (butter). Straight carbs, such as rice, couscous, sugar, and oatmeal should all be very close to equal,.

Connie,
Which brand of Bacon Jerky did you purchase? Not all brands are equal.
Thanks!

I add olive oil packets or carry a small (non-glass) container of olive oil to every dish.
If tired of olive oil, add salad dressing packets.

Connie and Everyone,
I recently saw individual serving packs of coconut oil at my favorite Alternative Food store. On my backpacking shopping list.

You should look at more than calories/oz. Consider how your body uses those calories. It uses sugar differently than beef jerky.
Some pretty high calorie foods are boderline toxic, besides lacking nutrition. Sorry, snickers.
