Have Enough Food Prepper Pantry Count Calories Don't Get Priced Out Of Food Stock Your Prepper
Pantry Full Of Food hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper have you thought about how long will
your food storage stockpile really last we tend to think we probably have more than
enough food stockpiled but a way to think about and measure the amount of stored food you have
decide how long your food storage stockpile will really last is to figure out how many total
calories you have in your stored food the average adult would need approximately two thousand
calories per day it's always going to be a little less for tiny people more for large people but if
you just try to figure it at 2 000 calories it makes your math easier look at your stored food
you want to figure out how many total calories do you have not necessarily how many total servings
check that you have enough or as much as you think you do by running some simple math pick
out one of your cans multiply servings times calories per serving and that'll tell you
how many calories are in each package 2 servings 250 calories each so the can has 500 calories 2
servings 180 calories makes 360 calories 2 servings 220 calories makes 440 calories
3.5 servings 20 calories makes 70 calories 14 servings 190 calories 2 60 calories
2 servings 50 calories 100 calories 2.5 servings 20 calories 50 calories that's another good reason
to store number 10 cans of basic foods rice has 54 servings 160 calories each for 8 640 calories
the beans have 50 servings 150 calories 7 500 calories if you add those two together that's not
very many days worth of food if you eat it just yourself does that put into perspective that maybe
you need more food than you thought just knowing how many servings doesn't necessarily help you
to know if you have enough food in times of real need people are going to need extra calories not
fewer calories and you need nutrient dense calories look at some of the emergency foods
like mres have approximately 800 to 1200 calories you would need two MREs per person per day
you could choose Mountain House three day kit it includes nine Mountain House entrees three
breakfasts three lunches three dinners if you add up the total calories in one breakfast one lunch
one dinner Mountain House meals it's about 1700 calories per day it does say there's two servings
per container and so they're actually giving you six servings per day but it's still only
about 1700 calories you can't just pay attention to servings size in food stockpile you also need
to pay attention to calories in food stockpile it takes a lot of food to keep people going it's
a new way to realize that you probably need a lot more food than you think i try to stockpile
food thinking breakfast lunch and dinner that i have servings of a wide variety of foods
but it's also a good way to check that you have enough or as much as you think you do
by running some simple math stockpile foods that your family will actually eat don't buy
foods that no one likes it's a waste of money and it's a waste of your pantry space get a variety so
you don't have food fatigue and then just keep building a little at a time every time you shop
buy a few more add it to your stockpile and rotate them before you know it you'll have the confidence
and the security knowing that you'll be able to provide the food that you need
