A little bit of backgound here: I am an 18-year old just finishing up my senior year of high school. My intention is to go into the army, and work in journalism. This is something that I have always wanted to do.
The only thing standing in the way of my enlistment is the fact that I am overwieght. Specifically, I am 6’0, 340lbs, and have always been a little of the fat side.
I have been triyng to get in shape, and I work out nearly every day for at least an hour and a half each time. I have been trying to diet, but I find myself lacking the discipline to follow any rules I set for myself. I am never particular about the specific foods I eat, or whether they are warm or cold. But I don’t eat junk food, and I don’t eat foods that are markedly unhealthy. It is only the amount of food the I consume that concerns me.
So I decided to follow a new approach, and use MREs(Meals Ready to Eat) to accomplish my goal of getting my eating habits under control. They are nutritious, they have set amounts, and I’ll know how much I’m consuming. And the fact that they are packaged would inhibit me from having muliple ones at a time, because I will force myself to only have one at every meal.
But my question is this; how do I get them?
I have found a few sites that sell MREs, but I am not sure whether I am getting good offers, or whether I can trust that I am getting quality product, and not spoiled surplus.
If anyone has any advice for me one how to aquire MREs, or any other info about them, I would be very appreciative.
