Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich and Chips - $0.50

For the first day on the trail, one may prefer to just hike and not stop to cook. It's an opportunity to eat something that may not keep too well for the next day.

To hit 300 calories, this sandwich and chips is surprisingly small. No wonder kids love them. It's a way to pack a lot of calories in a small sandwich.

Just to keep the calories consistent, I made a menu for a small sandwich. I normal size one with a normal serving of chips would probably be around 700 calories.
