Blacksrap Molasses

I am looking for highly nutritious food, light weight, to take hiking with me.

3/4 cup dried beans have close to 30 grams of protein and 30 grams of fiber. 360 calories. More calories would have to be consumed on a thru-hike of 12 to 20 miles a day.

A woman my age needs 1200 milligrams of calcium every day and 8 grams of iron.
2 TB. of blackstrap molasses give a person 400 milligrams of calcium. 2 tea.=68 calories.
After the daily nutritional needs were met, calories would be the problem.
