In combat, the typical soldier needs 3000 to 5000 calories a day to function. To keep the bulk of rations that he must carry to supply this down, the food in the rations concentrates on high density calories (fats - 9 cal/gm) and quickly available calories (carbohydrates - 4 cal/gm). Chocolate bars are good for this.
