[QUOTE="Vince Carter, post: 30551, member: 2657"] Many of us took the appraoch that you needed to eat to survive but that's about all you wanted from an MRE. Some entrees are actually not too bad when heated, assuming you didn't make an MRE bomb from the heating packet. There are some good snacks type things, probably the better part of an MRE. Crackers are not quite as good as cardboard though. Drink mixes similar to koolaid are tough to use as you're beaten to death with pure water only in your canteen so there's less opportunity to mix it. It's a common thing to get the powder in your mouth and add water, swish it around and swallow. I didn't mind MRE's but you didn't want your diet for days and weeks, you didn't want all the calories, I think 1250 is probably a VERY low estimate, if you weren't at a high state of physical activity. Also notorious for constipation which in field ops limiting #2 can be good and bad. [/QUOTE]
