Oh, and i know ramen isn't supposed to be an option... BUT....

You can crack an egg in it while it is still boiling and it makes yummy delicious creamy protein soup.

Breakfast sausage, can of baked beans, and cottage cheese. Sounds gross, but it works.

I remember reading something somewhere about Yvon Chouinard living off of damaged canned cat food mixed with potatos, ground squirrel, and porcupines for one summer.

Penne pasta, Vodka sauce, sauteed onions, garlic, jar roasted red peppers, and sliced smoked sausage. salt pepper. fukin amazing and feeds 4 for like 1.50 each. colman stove and one skillet.

I got two... pretty much all I eat. Vegetarian if you eat eggs and cheese.

#1
Cook a half box whole wheat pasta shells (couple bucks), strain, add one small can of store brand tomato sauce (39 cents) and a third block of sliced colby or cheddar cheese (couple bucks). Scramble 3 eggs (50 cents?) and mix all together till cheese melts. Season. (I usually mix up a batch of salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder together before a trip).

Probably over 1000 calories. Can also add a half can of corn.

#2
Cook a batch of brown rice. I know it's a pain but cheap and hearty. Add either a half can of great northern beans or garbanzo beans. Scramble 3 eggs mix together. Shredded jack cheese on top is good. Season with soy sauce and seasoning.

+1 for rattlesnake bake (organic snake, greens, shrooms) for elegance, originality, and cost. -50 for complexity and required planning.

+1 for the brook trout. Nutritionally packed full, and free after you get the equipment to fetch it. And if you ditch the shake and bake, you can boil it in the coffee pot after you've made coffee.

Kia +1 for eggs. Eggs are an awesome superfood. Ramen probably takes more nutrients to digest and shit out than you get from it.

Rob +1 for being the first to mention whole wheat and brown rice.

Eggs, potatoes, garden salsa: Super cheap, and almost nutritionally complete. Lots of protein and long-lasting calories. Although not as fun as catching rattlesnakes, brookies, or hedgehogs.
