Also did mountain house meals at night back at camp. After 3 days I felt the sodium content catch up with me (I think), and I felt awful. To much for me apparently. By day 4, I switched to grilled chicken for dinner, oatmeal with coffee for lunch and scrambled eggs breakfast. First time I remember diet affecting how I felt. I ate this for lunch and one of these for dinner with smoked oysters in it for 4 days. and I never felt better. Brought 3lbs candy and chocolate too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted December 13, 2023 I just found tuna packets with rice and beans. There pretty good and don’t need to be heated so for just a few days I don’t need a stove 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cut back on sodium after reading the labels/ingridients of stuff 35 years ago when my kids were born. I can honestly say I've never eaten Top Ramen. I feel bad for the kids when I see a Mom buying it by the case and 12 packs of soda. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little high in fat, cuz they deep fry the noodles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
