Backpacker's Pantry... a critique

[Loretta Van Riet]

Hi all. I purchased some 6.5oz packages to sample. Had the "Mexican Rice with Beef" for lunch...pretty darn good!

The package states makes two 13 oz servings. Well, my husband and I were both full with less than that size serving. So maybe you could reasonably feed three adults with this entree.

Per 13 oz (half of package)
Calories 370
total fat 11 g
trans fat 0 mg
sugars 5 g
carbs 55g
sodium 1530 (yes, it's high, but did not taste salty)
protein 14 g

Provides the following vitamin percentages...

vit B6 110%, vit C 120%,vit E 100%,iodine 100%,vit A 140%,B2 110%, Iron 110%,
Folic Acid 110%, B1 110%,B3 110%,B12 100%,vit D 110%, calcium 10%,zinc 100% pantothenic 110%

I can't wait to try another entree later this week!

Thanks for the review Loretta. I know the salt can be a bear for some folks. For others who are working hard and no problems, it causes no concern. As you have probably noticed, some entrees are higher calorie/ cholesterol than others.

Keep us posted.
