FOOD INVENTORY WORKSHEET

OUR APPROACH: PLAN FAMILIAR MEALS BEFORE BUYING MORE
[ ] Count household meals, dietary needs, allergies, calories, protein, fats, and variety.
[ ] Include a ready-to-eat option when cooking or safe water is unavailable.
[ ] Count total food + added water + fuel + equipment + packaging weight.
[ ] Follow product storage and preparation instructions. Plan safe portions and waste handling.
[ ] Rotate fats such as oils, nuts, and nut butter; don't assume staple-like storage life.
[ ] Do not apply ideal long-storage figures to ordinary grocery packaging.
