If thats all you have then I guess its not a bad choice.

I wouldn't consider it bodybuilding food by any means, but as stated above if it's the best you have access to, then what choice do you really have anyway? They're better than not eating at all. Tell your mom to overnight the oats!

[brianrparker]

They should be here any day. even if over nighted it would go to the army in the states then the army takes it overseas.

I think that while you're deployed try to make the best with what you have. You know what's good and what's not. Hopefully you can get some good care packages.

Thank you for your service, it's always appreciated.

I was in Iraq and had no problems with availabilty of everything necessary for proper dieting for whatever I wanted to accomplish. I was on Anaconda as an MWR coordinator.

What exactly are your living quarters and patrol (or whatever you do) schedule like? If you're on a COP how often do u get to visit the FOB? I was in and out of some of the sh!ttiest JSS's and COPs in Baghdad and spent a lot time in patrol bases too so I know how bad the diets can be, but I can try and help just lemme know your situation.
