In terms of pounds per days, what is the rule of thumb for prepping food?
The rule of thumb for water is a half gallon per person, per day; what's the equivalent for food?
I'm reviewing our stores and trying to quantify our survival plan, but I'm having trouble nailing down how much food I can expect my family to consume in an emergency, both for purposes of prepping and designing a rationing plan. Our normal dietary habits are pretty random, so it's hard to use that as a baseline.
Without going into calorie counts, what do you guys use as a rule of thumb?
