Why do the filling volumes of Trek’n Eat pouches produce a ready-to-consume meal of 425 g (single package) and 850 g (double package)?
These have been found to be sufficient quantities for a single or double meal on many expeditions and trekking tours and are considered to be a standard. Compare this with a soup plate, which normally holds 250 g. But the crucial item is the cooking pot. A one-liter cooking pot will still hold 850 g if we assume that we add 600 to 650 ml of water to the Trek’n Eat meal. Anything more than that will ultimately turn out to be less, for the pot will be too small or flow over!
