This meal fueled me to bike 540 miles across Iowa over 7 days for RAGBRAI! When the food lines were long and I was exhausted and starving at the end of long days and just wanted a hot quick meal, this was it. It's high in protein and calories to nourish my body day in and day out for a week! I love meals with a protein and rice and if you're craving soup this is perfect when you add extra water for a soupy consistency.

I always like this one. It tastes great, is easy to make, and good calorie/protein stats. But I had only had it at home or on shorter hikes. But once I tried eating this on hikes of 10+ miles, I realized it's not going to work for me. It has so much sodium, that my feet were slightly swollen making hiking up and down steep terrain for miles on end much more difficult. The next day, I had gained 4lbs in water retention (and lost it all 2 days after that.) I'm going to opt for another brand with less sodium for these longer hikes.

Mountain House beats Peak Refuel for taste and overall quality! They've been doing this longer and have it down to a science! I hope they continue to improve and I hope they continue to offer the Military MCW packaging, or at least continue to offer that form of packaging! I like it's simplicity and compactness! I really think they should do the MCW form of packaging with the oxygen absorber, vacuum seal and even tougher mylar (or whatever they use for the ProPak). This would be an unbeatable long term storage food in a form factor that would simply be unbeatable!!!

We had a late hunt this year and this was so good after being cold all day. Not only is it nice to have a hot meal but bonus when it tastes so good!!

I have bought from several different companies and realized I should try some before buying more. I am stocking up for emergencies / Hurricanes. One brands protein pack is vegan. Lentils and beans. The taste was good but you have to boil for 25 minutes. That takes a lot of propane if your power is out. Your chicken and rice has a lot of chicken and a large portion. You only add boiling water to the pouch wait 10 minutes and it's ready to eat. I did add a little extra seasoning. And great for my girlfriend that has nut allergy.
