    Anyone got any ideas for good-tasting, easy-prep and very caloric food for trips?

    So far I've tried:

    – Cesar's pad thai (120cal per 1oz)
    – Instant mashed potatoes with olive oil and spices (137cal per 1oz)

    Any other ideas?

    This is pretty calorie dense. Add some dried veggies for more nutrition

    Serves 2 (maybe)
    Ramen Noodles (2-3 packets)

    3/4c Peanut Butter
    2T Thai Red Curry Paster
    3T Coconut Cream Powder
    TrueLime Powder (2 packets)
    A few dashes of Fish Sauce

    Ratios are estimates–but the sauce is >140 kcal/oz. Noodles are ~123 kcal/oz. And you can add more coconut cream powder for more calories (and higher fat content).

    Melting fats into your food boosts the flavor 100%.

    I make pemmican, which is just dried beef and beef tallow. I dry the beef myself. The last time I did it I used thin sliced milanesa so I didn't even have to do any prep work except I salted the beef a little. Dried overnight. I put pieces in the blender to pulverize it, then melted the beef fat (grass-fed tallow, bought online). I pour this in plastic-wrap lined cupcake tins, let it harden, then wrap each hockey puck up in plastic wrap. Pemmican tastes terrible but if you melt a puck in your food it makes it oh so tasty. I swear it's a miracle.

    If you don't like that idea, you can make coconut "pemmican". Melt Artisana Coconut Butter or a similar product (not coconut oil, the butter has solids in it) and shredded unsweetened coconut and pour those into plastic-lined cupcake tins. Let it harden, wrap each puck up and melt that into your dinners. Oh man so delicious. Add curry if you like. You could melt this into your oatmeal, too, and add cinnamon.

    There's also a brick of coconut fat with solids you wouldn't even have to prepare. It comes in a green box. I think Artisana makes it.

    Also good is the Golden Curry you can buy in the supermarket in the Asian section. Has a consistency like a chocolate bar and is pretty tasty, but the fats in that aren't as healthy as grass-fed beef fat or coconut fat.
