That's a good example why I like physicists. Yummy, more oil cooking!

Butter might come close to optimal as well.

I had thought olive oil, its certainly a good boost but couldn't imagine anyone surviving solely on it. How about peanut butter, 5.8 cal/g, 50% fat, 20% carbs, 25% protein. Used (with a few additives) by the WTO to relieve famine.

Just bring peanuts... They are around 60-70% pure fat, and tasty. :)

Pure fat would be most efficient only if you can metabolize it all, which I suspect you can't. In The Worst Journey in the World, Cherry-Garrard wrote "[our calorific] requirements are calculated for total absorption of all food-stuffs: but in practice, by visual proof, this does not take place: this is especially noticeable in the case of fats, a quantity of which were digested neither by men, ponies, nor dogs."
