So I'll start with somewhere in the neighborhood of 35-40lbs of food. Several foods (corn, soybeans) expand greatly when cooked so I don't think there will be any threat of starvation. Our meat supply is not very big so I'm hoping to get along with some soups or stews to stretch it out through the week. I'll be bringing mostly the high-volume foods with me to the market tonight (corn, soybeans, etc.) but if any of you see something you'd like to have I'm open to the possibilities.

ReplyDeleteKeep in mind Volume does not nececaraly equal nutritional value. Please all of you be sure to watch for any nutritinal problems, I know one week isn't lng enough for really bad stuff. But be mindfull of low energy due to intake. Even driving can become dangerous if you get hungry enough long enough.
And don't forget to drink plenty of water. If you cut back your food intake too much you also could end up dehydrating, you'd be suprised how much water you get from your food.
GOOD LUCK ALL!!
