The math

$99.99 ÷ 5,118 kcal × 2,000 = $39.07 per 2,000 calories

Does it last as long as advertised?

The brand sells this as 3 days of food. It contains 5,118 calories, so:

  • Over 3 days, that's 1,706 calories a day, below the 2,000 a day this site uses as a standard.
  • At 2,000 calories a day, it lasts 2.6 days for one person.

Where these numbers come from

  • Calories: Calculated from the brand's calories-per-day claim × the claimed number of days. We haven't confirmed it from the individual item labels yet. Checked November 8, 2026.
  • Price: list price on the brand's store, checked November 8, 2026. Prices change often, and sales are common.
