this does not make sense to me.
a gram of carbs has about 4 calories
a gram of protein has about 4 calories
a gram of fat has about 9 calories
so fat has the best weight to calorie ratio
plus carbs are bulkier for a given weight than protein so carbs seem the least efficient backpaking food
I have heard of people carrying butter rolled in sugar, seems legit.
