Hello all. First post here. I'm planning a Grand Canyon hike in the spring and am seriously trying to minimize weight. I don't want to a stove so I'm trying to figure out what are the best weight to calorie ratio non-perishable foods that don't need to be heated. Carrying a pack full of Snickers bars probably isn't a great nutrition strategy!

If you wanted to carry foods that don't need to be cooked but that have maximum energy at the lowest possible weight what would you carry?

Thanks in advance for any info.
