(You could replace corn with peanuts, but I think the calorie content would be a little higher as they digest a little bit)
Things that I think about when I’m sitting on a boat in the middle of the reservoir.

Corn - 100% of the calories because it’s just the fibrous husk coming out from around the kernel and not the sugar/starch internal of the kernel.
Peanuts are more interesting as I once read that you don’t get the full caloric value from nuts because they are hard to digest.
