I was curious about how little you can do with to survive and started looking around. Then I thought about refugees and how many governments give them the bare minimum. If SHTF, you could expect a bare minimum package if the disaster were widespread enough. Also, this will give you a guide as to how much you'll need to survive.

A Syrian refugee in Jordan receives the following. These are rations for one adult for one week:

• 420 g of rice
• 400 g plain flour
• 400 g tinned kidney beans
• 170 g dried lentils
• 85 g dried chickpeas
• 125 g tinned sardines
• 300 ml of vegetable oil
• 400 g flour coupon
• 1.5 kg rice coupon

You'll be making a lot of flat bread and hummus to go with your rice and beans. All of this is taken from: https://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/2017/06/14/why-i-will-be-eating-syrian-refugee-week

Page 57 of this report breaks down a diet analysis in one of those camps:
