I've looked at meat and other protein options, and have considered the high cal drink powders. I've got to speak to some people about the powders to see what they recommend, and compare the cals per oz. of weight with other options (the cals per oz. is not the only factor being taken into consideration, but given the excercise of building the lightest to carry calorie rich meal plan I can, it's certainly a factor).

At this point, I'm looking at pyramiding the meal plan as follows (from lightest weight component to heaviest weight component, as a percentage of total food load):

-Multi-Vitamin supplements (28) and Vitamin C supplement (14)

-Soup cubes (28) (good for fluid and salt intake)

-Protein powders (? quantity)

-Simple carbs - chocolate (14 bars of pure chocolate)

-Food mixes and seasonings - soup mix packs (28), tabasco (1), seasoning shaker (1)

-Proteins and fats, including nuts, meats, fish, etc with low perishability (another new word for Oxford). These would be put over rice or pasta (? quantity)

-Prepackaged dehydrated meals (14)

-Complex carbs - 1.5 L Nalgene bottles full of rice and pasta (These are nice as you pack a lot of food into a small space. Just one 1.5L Nalgene bottle full of spaghettini packs dense, cooks fast, and can make enough base food to make about 4 meals, depending on how much you eat.) (7 bottles).
