Agree 100%......I know for a fact that the military MRE's contain 3500+ calories per meal!! They are designed specifically for military folks that are in the field and expending a great deal of energy/calories.

Um...no, not really. The main entree in most modern MREs is between 2-400 calories. To that, you add a side entree in some of them, crackers, topping for the crackers, a dessert(a cookie or something) and maybe a small bag of M&Ms or something.
It states on the back of some of the MRE entree boxes a bit about nutrition in a field environment. It states (if I remember right) that an MRE has between 1200-1800 calories in it.

Hey, this is a good idea! Is this the same technology used in military MREs? I've tried a few MREs and they aren't that bad at all.

They're not bad on occasion, but if you have more than a few of them in a couple days, you get tired of them really quickley.
BTW...for those who are going to argue with me. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, and I've eaten numerous MREs since I've been here, and even more when I was in Pakistan from February-April of this year.
Hope this helps!
