Food Chart
Food items are organized with the most efficient "weight-to-calories" ratio on top, in decending order (best on top, worst on bottom). In the second column, I've given the most efficient item a "1.00" as a baseline for comparison. Every other item shows the percentage of efficiency compared to that top item.
