Thing to remember , is that a post SHTF diet , will not be balanced . It will be more a situation where its what you have , or what you can come across . People with fussy diets , will learn to get over it real fast . If you look at a lot of MREs , especially Western countries , you will quickly notice that they have a large amount of ” crap ” food . Mostly in the form of candy and other junk food . This is strictly for calorie count and shelf stability . Its also for expediency , aside from the drinks , they require no water . Its a trade off , junk food that you can eat at any time , with no prep, or more substantial , healthy , better food per weight ratio , dehydrated items , that do require water and cooking time .
