I think you are really smart to stock what you eat and eat what you stock. Saves wasting a lot of money when you realize that all your stored food is outdated - and having taste bud shock when SHTF DOES happen and you have to dig into your stores.

You ought to stock dried lentils and various beans. They are extremely cheap and you can throw together good soup with beans and veggies. That will give you a protein source. Canned tuna and salmon if you eat fish.

There are just not many calories in vegetables and soup
I am going store canned chicken because it can be used in a lot of different ways, and also canned salmon.
Chicken salad sandwiches, chicken 'n dumplings, chicken noodle soup, and I BET I can fry it if I am carefull! I am mostly waiting for it to go on sale.

One of my favorite canned items is Raviolis.
Stocking what you eat is good, but if it is all you use, you really have to be on top of that rotation. I use canned items for shorter-term stocks but most canned items aren't as healthy as the alternatives due to all of the sodium they have to put into it. I'd highly recommend buying some wheat, yeast, sugar, and a grinder for making your own bread.

I figured canned is for stuff I can't get dried (like beans & soup). Meat will be scarce, so canned meats & jarred peanut butter. I don't live on a farm so I don't jar fruits and vegetables for myself, so canned fruits and veggies will have to do for vitamins & fiber. Plus I happen to like them. Canned coffee - I'm betting it'll be up there with ammo on the barter system.

I keep canned chilli, spam, ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs, tuna, soup, peanut butter, and and then an equal number of various kinds of vegetables. I also keep five or six boxes of fortified cerial in the fridge so the mice cant get at it.

I very often eat canned or frozen goods at work. Saves me from driving out into town and paying 4x the price for a sandwich.
This means that I rotate my canned goods often, but that also means I buy stuff the I can heat up in a microwave.
Most of what I have are soups, chilli, stew, hash, ramen and cup of noodles, canned meats, and leftovers.
I see nothing wrong with 20 cases of chilli and stew.

Sounds like you are prepping for diet of some sort. Trust me, when you are hungry you do not think “healthy food”. You dream about meat, fat, greasy stuff that will fill you up nicely. But then… you probably do not even know what it is like to be hungry.
Go to youtube and type canning hamberger
