So I have been messing around a bit with recipes and have found what I think is a good home made survival bar that I am going to put in mylar pouches with an oxygen absorber for BOB's.
My first batch I put too much sugar in it, made me too thirsty, so I cut back the sugar and replaced the loss of calories with more almonds and more oil.
So, here is the question:
Which is more important, a high fat content or a high carbohydrate content?
I think that the former is best. You will likely be rationing anyhow, living off of body fat, it would be best that you are consuming foods with higher fat content (better fuel) than carbohydrates (quicker but doesn't last as long).
Here is the nutrient count per bar (2"X3"X1"):
860 calories
60 g. fat
84 g. carbohydrates
14.6 g protein
