Calories in freeze dried, cal bumping ideas

I made a batch of pemmican, added spices and salt, which I plan on using to add calories to meals. I'll let you know how this works for me later! ;)

Hi Michael,
I dehydrate my own, but mostly for taste and nutritional reasons. Home dehydrated meals are not any more calorie dense than the commercial ones (most of mine average 105-120 Kcal/oz), but you can make them as big as you like.

I always add ridiculous amounts of fat to mine when rehydrating them. I generally like a good dousing of olive oil, but this past winter, I was adding 1/4- 1/3 stick of butter to each meal and loving it.

Packit gourmet freeze dried sausage is another calorie dense ingredient (like 198 kcal/oz) I'll use to jack up the calories and taste in some meals.

When it seems like it will go well with the recipe, I'll throw a couple tablespoons nido (143kcal/oz)in too.

Other than that, I try to maximize my fat calories throughout the day by munching on macadamia nuts (206 kcal/oz), artisanal sausage/salami, and hard cheeses.

A tablespoon of sprouted ground flax adds 85 calories and is highly nutritious.

Fat, fat and more fat. And Parm and oil together IS tasty ;-)

Otherwise add nuts and seeds to everything.
