I used these rations quite often as they are light weight and very neat to pack. It doesn't produce "messy garbage". Just roll up the package and seal it in a ziplock pack. Very little mess.
They actually taste very good, but they are not very "meat heavy" even if it is a meat dish. While the package said "2 portions", it is really for one person after a day of work. I also find that they like a bit more water than indicated.

Very good meals for long portages or camping trips with limited space. The only one I remember sucking hard was a vegetable soup one. Not very filling compared to the rest.

30-40% percent per serving depending on the meal.
Body will need salt, especially in long hikes.

That is why I like these rations, I usually make them slightly more soupy than it should to increase my water intake.

Yes sir, you need sodium to facillitate ATP uptake and keep the NA+/K+ pump working. Extra soupy is the way to go!!
Oh I understand the pathophysiology of metabolism, electrolyte balance, Na+/K+-ATPase, etc. I just prefer moderation. lol.

How solid is this pricing with regards to the exchange rate, for example is it good for this shipment only?
I really like most of these and they do provide good energy with easy prep and cleanup. I also think the current pricing is very competitive.
Should stay the same barring the distributor doesn't mix things up. Wont be done on our end.
Moderation is the way to go, restrictive diets do nothing. Eating is simple, (energy in < energy out). If you are burning the energy and need the sodium in a light, fast pack meal these are a great option.
any discounts if you buy in bulk?
