I know that pic related is bad, but ive been soiylent posting for over a decade on /out/, before the memes.
I bring pic related + home made beef jerky, and trail mix as my only nutrients on multi day hikes, hunting trips, weeklong portaging, and music venues like burning man, rainbow gathering, wolf river gathering, funk you, etc all these places i pack light, and tight. last thing i want to worry about or carry are coolers full of food, pans, cutting boards, etc. fuck that shit. i do it minimally.
1lb = 2k calories including all minerals and shit. you cant beat that performance.
when this shit first came out, people spent weeks and months on it and felt fine
garlic memes aside, this shit works. it fills you up, you dont feel like youve eaten too much, you dont feel hungry, trail mix for that mouthfeel, it just werks. just dont eat it everyday. its good for one week a year.
