Well, considering I’m a competitive powerlifter my diet consists of quite of few calories a day to say the least. That and the supplements I buy tends to add up.

I work out about 5 days (45-60 minutes cardio plus light weight training 3-4 days a week) so I'm nowhere near needing the amount of calories a powerlifter needs. I just want to maintain muscle tone. But you do need to keep the extra calories/fuel your body needs if you are more active. I'm stocking up on the same things Eagle was mentioning for emergency survival needs as well as keeping plenty of oatmeal, peanut butter, dried and canned beans, canned tuna and chicken, whole grain crackers, corn bread mix, large bags of rice and don't forget evaporated milk and Canola and Olive oil for fats (our bodies and brains need fats to survive on). It might not be a bad idea to stock up on a couple extra bags of some type of protein or whey shake mix (large bags at Costco) that are ready meals when mixed with water. And keep an extra bottle of multivitamins on hand.
