BTDT! 3 square meals a day you civilian puke. Morning, noon, and night. BTW, troops eat first! Huehuehue.

If they ate healthy, why are they all fat by the time they get out?

>> No.5401274

>>5401259
Not fat just bulking.

you can eat healthy and still eat too much for the amount of exercise you do.

they eat rice and beans bro. rice and beans. Maybe some meat chili once in a while.

They never eat MRE's unless they're in an actual operation.

As a soldier in DA ARMY, this is what I will tell you from my experience only

Garrison dfac (dining facility) food:
>varies from dfac to dfac (we have 4 on my post)
>God-tier hamburgers when they're fresh made, shitty frozen patties most of the time though
>Large salad bars from lunch and dinner with lots of veggies
>Breakfast is the best meal

Garrison field meals:
>lots of nasty "bagged" food that can be cooked while boiling
>Huge amount of waste, as everything that isn't eaten on the day it was made or put out must be thrown away (this includes pre-packaged cookies and the like)
>Always feels really dirty
>Would rather eat an MRE

Deployment chows cooked by contractors:
>Also varies from FOB to FOB. The bigger the FOB, the better the food
>Had delicious fresh baked bread on BAF
>Hot wing bar, 4 or 5 different kinds of wings
>Big helpings

Deployment chows cooked by actual army cooks:
>Food is all brown
>Small portions
>Lots and lots of pre-cooked pre-packaged boiled meals

MRES:
I don't have much to say about them. They suck, but if you're fucking hungry you don't care and you'll eat it

I'll also add that I had a lot of different experiences with meals down range. Our FOBs were closing so the meal services were severely cut back a few months into deployment. After the dfacs closed it started to get pretty desperate, but before that I'll say that we ate moderately well
