[pct-l] Expensive trail food (was Re: PCT - Hard Dirt?)

[Reinhold Metzger]

Say Mixalot,
I think you may have your numbers mixed up.
My source shows hulled Sunflower seeds at 162 -170 calorie/oz.
With hulls 86 calories/oz.
Unless your number represents roasted in oil....but that is not the seed 
only.
Calorie count goes up if you saturate the seed in oil.

Pecans have about the same calories per ounce.
Sunflower seeds are nearly 240 calories per ounce.
Every last gram is worthless if it's still in your food bag when you 
walk into the next town, so get what you'll eat instead of what looks 
best on a spreadsheet. If you're lucky you'll find something that's both.
