  1. While reading TheEldritchGod's excellent guide on weight management, I noticed that he suggested Crackers as a top tier food because of its high calorie to kg ratio. Crackers are definitely strong for a big calorie dose and their long shelf life, but I always wondered how to evaluate the hydration cost in eating the Crackers. Since my general strategy is to try to eat as much meat as I can when not traveling to conserve high-value and non-smelly food for important trips, I try to mostly hydrate with water and have therefore assigned bonuses or maluses to each food's weight based on how much water (i) you can avoid carrying because of food hydration or (ii) you have to carry to make up for the hydration loss. So the results in the rightmost column might not hold if you're using other, more compact sources of hydration, like soda or tea, and in that case, overall calorie density becomes more important than calorie+water density as your hydration sources become more concentrated. INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS: Condensed Milk is actually extremely dense nutrition if you can handle the can Soda proves once again that it is OP Peaches, Soup and Peanut Butter reaffirmed as low-value foods and Tin of Sardines is surprisingly dense if you find a good condition one Most food hydration is a "good deal" compared to water **Green means heatable, orange means canned food ***Tea and Coffee is too light to work using this framework, left the entry in as a curiosity
