Title: anyone tried Paleo Meals to Go freeze dried food?
Post by: CaNINE on April 28, 2016, 07:02:16 PM: Read in this month's bugle magazine that these are a tasty alternative to mountain house. What do you think?

Post by: Odell on May 04, 2016, 10:50:49 AM: just looked at the beef stew pouch-- 390 calories with 42 grams of protein, 25 grams of carbs with 15 grams of sugar. Not very Paleo?

Mt House beef stew pouch will be 475 calories, 32.5 grams of protein, 55 grams of carbs, with 5 of that being sugar...and cheaper for sure.

I like eating Paleo but toss it aside when it comes to backcountry hunting. You want high calories and easily attained carbs to avoid fatigue and other physical and mental benefits.

Wish I wasn't so lazy, id make my own :chuckle: :bash:

Post by: CaNINE on May 05, 2016, 12:49:36 PM: I will order a couple of the P2G meals to sample and let you know what I think. No more MH for me. I've cut over to Heather's Choice. The extra cost is worth it for better food quality and nutrition. I chow down on those packaroon things.

It is definitely more expensive then MH but like BLRman said the sodium is killer. Not to mention the protein amount in Heathers stuff is way higher.

Post by: Highmountaindan on May 23, 2016, 09:53:30 PM: Mary Jane organics freeze dried is the best I have ever had. It's the only brand I will take from now on, I started using it last year and it was way higher quality, the meals were pretty excellent, I paid more but it was totally worth it. Found them at REI

That said, do yourself a favor and buy a good food dehydrator.

You can easily whip up massive quantities of homemade goodness in the comfort of your kitchen to match your body's preferred diet for a small fraction of the cost of freeze dried meals. They taste better because you prepare the food the way you like it to begin with, and you can freezer bag (or preferably vacuum seal) perfect portion sizes of the finished dried product. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer until you need them if they are not going to be used for a few months.
