That food calculator sure will freak you out when you see the amount it says you need the first time
I decided to figure my storage by doing a complete inventory, and counted how many calories was in all the various food. Then I divided that by 3000 calories to figure out how many days worth we had.
I know that isn’t the normal way to do it but those inventory calculators usually only tell you how much of a few staple foods to have, and don’t also count the “normal” grocery store foods most people have.
But you are right when you say that it sure looks like a lot when it is all in buckets stacked in the basement!
