They're kinda pricey but they provide a ton of calories :cheer:
Not bad for the hardgainer that can never get enough..

I imagine a lot of those calories are empty.

I think they are mostly high in simple starches, complex carbs with a moderate ammount of protein.The 3600 calorie food bars..now those are empty calories lol

My brother's in the Army and he brought back a bunch of boxes of MRE's.
I tore threw a lot of them (too lazy to cook anything).
Some of the meals taste kinda okay. Most taste reeeeaaaally bad.
But they're kinda fun to eat.

I'm not sure what the nutritional content is, but I imagine you'd get pretty fat if you didn't work out constantly. As I imagine they design these for very active servicemen out in the field.

As a hard gainer that put on 35lbs, I'd steer clear of this stuff.

If you're just looking to put on bad weight, you can load up on those 7-eleven Bomb Burritos

Before I started to eat clean, I loaded up on those and packed on a bunch of weight.
