Emergency Calories? Problem Solved!

[Haironyourchest]

I discovered this product and have been using it for a while now, and it just works.

 

It's a compressed biscuit, very dry, somewhat powdery, only slightly sweet. One box = nine biscuits = 2300 calories = about £6.00

       Each biscuit is individually wrapped, and the stack of nine are vacuum sealed. Shelf life is 20 years. Three biscuits is a meal. And it's slow release calories. I have been experimenting with how long I can work on one biscuit before feeling low energy again, I reckon about 2 hours.

        They were developed for emergency food suppply in refugee/disaster situations. The makers claim you can eat these and nothing else for years without ill effect. For hardworking people who often forget or can't eat breakfast, or who's schedule makes lunch an annoyance, these things are the bomb. Easy to eat (with plenty water) and you don't feel stuffed, and don't get energy crash, so you can stay sharp and focussed and productive.

Just been looking at the ingredients;

 

Nutritional values per 100g

• Calorific value: 1920 kJ / 420 kcal

Ever thought of knocking up your own flapjacks? Keep for weeks in an air-tight container.  Best thing I ever found, through reading, for slow release carbs is plain old oatmeal. Grind it up and add to milk drinks, crushed nuts for good fats and  and even more calories

That's almost the same as most nuts.
