Default shelf-stable LC foods...

Here in the Northeast we may get a really ugly storm. I am
wondering what LC things would be good to have on hand in case of
a power outage. I don't want to be driven to eat more carbs just
because the power is out, but I am having a hard time coming up
with things to eat--and what to put in my coffee. (Previously, I
could use the little packs of milk--even chocolate milk. I gazed
at the little packs of nondairy milks at WF but the few they had
did not seem to be LC.)

I am having a hard time coming up with things. All I have thought
of is some cheeses. (Laughing Cow, which I normally don't
particularly like, has an odd label that says "refrigerate after
purchase"! Can string cheese stay out for a while?) I see some
hard sausages but try not to eat much of that sort of thing.
There are nuts and canned fish--not that I want to live on either
for many meals.

I guess I should get ice (if there is any left), and then I could
keep "milk" and a few other things in a cooler. I am sure I am
just blanking on numerous good choices, and would greatly
appreciate any suggestions that can be made in the next day or
two, so I can stock up.

Thanks!

Maybe too late for this storm, but:



If you can tolerate dairy whey powder, one can live on that and
coconut oil or milk for a reasonable time.

Canned fish, ham or chicken.

Pork rinds 50% fat and the rest nearly all protein.



The thing is not to have epicurian delights, but to get through a
difficult period. It's easier to fast when one knows it's optional.
