I'm assuming that based on lack of "modern conveniences" such as I have in my kitchen, there are some recipies that work better out there for the Boots and SEPPers than others. Are they eating lots of stir fries? Scrambled eggs? Only foods that can be cooked in cast iron skillets? (Is there even a way to summarize what they eat at Wheaton Labs?)

I ask because I am pretty sure that whatever they are doing is what I ought to be cooking and eating, "modern conveniences" be darned...

I feel that they eat pretty healthy foodstuff.

This is an older thread that I have used to try some new food dishes:

I saw the clafoutis, search for a recipe, and came up with my own version.

They make a lot of fresh loaves of bread and pizza using the PolyDough

Bootcamp food is "staples".  Oats, flour, fruits and veg.  Eggs, milk and yogurt are provided.   Cheese and meat are rare.  Sometimes butter.  No processed foods are provided - so no crunchy cereal or frozen meals.  Peanut butter and jam.  There is store bought bread.  And there are tortilla chips and salsa.  

Oh yeah, really strict on organic stuff.  

There's tea, but no coffee.

No soy of any kind.

Most people seem to get by fine.  I would guess more than half the people buy a little something to augment.
