[pct-l] food weight

[Paul Robison]

My other post didn't go through... If you're scrounging from a mini-mart... 5000 calories will be closer to 3 pounds after packaging.

In our day bags we averaged 112 cal an ounce...in a gallon ziploc with all packaging... To go much past that you get into some really fatty foods.
