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.)

One of my favorite backpacking foods comes from SeaBear
(www.seabear.com): Ready-to-eat smoked, wild Alaskan
sockeye salmon. 3.5 oz packets. 234 calories; 14g fat; 2g
carb (it does have some sugar in it); 25g protein. I can't
remember what the shelf-life is, but it's probably similar
to the unrefridgerated soft-packs of tuna available in
supermarkets. Pricey, but very good food. They have other
types of salmon put up in the same fashion, but I think the
smoked sockeye has the most fat. The web page tells all, if
you dig deep enough.


Thank you! I think I need to brave the stores again. This is a
lot harder if one is thinking LC!
