>>376087 Shit, the military's site about MREs seems to be dead/down. I actually find this kind of stuff interesting, and it helps that I was taught about it (albeit briefly) while training to be a cook in the army (fuck did I hate that job.) MREs tend to have between 2000 and 2500 cal per package, depending on the meal; three of these make a day's "rations".
MRE Cold Weathers (MCWs), on the other hand, are between 4100 and 4500 cal; once again, three of these make a day's ration. Aside from the extra calories, these also differ from MREs in that the meals are more resistant to freezing (so no soup-ish meals) and contain extra beverage powders (essentially Gatorade drink mix to be added to a canteen to help with hydration).
I doubt they have the cappuccino or pudding mixes, though...
