When we go through the breakfast chow line, we sign for breakfast, and also sign for a lunch meal. We have a choice of an MRE, or a "Jimmy Dean". The JDs aren't really made by JD anymore, although they used to be, and thus the name.
I call them the Snack Food Platter. The one on my desk for today's lunch (I usually get the MRE) has 7 items. Most are snack food items you can buy in the PX. It contains: one 3 oz can Beef in BBQ Sauce, one hamburger bun to put it on, one 4 oz Motts Apple Sauce, one 1 3/4 can Pringles Sour Cream and Onion potato chips, 6 Oreo cookies, one 7 oz can of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, and one 11.5 oz can of Welch's Orange-Pineapple juice.
Without counting the apple sauce, which has no data label, this meal has 1275 calories, 48 grams of fat, 150 grams of carbs, 67 grams of sugar, and 1480 grams of sodium. It has more of all these than in MRE, except the sodium. A Chicken Salsa MRE has 1040 calories, 45 g fat, 119 g carbs, 38 g sugar, and 2750 g sodium.
