According to the Defense Logistics Agency and MRE retailers, a standard MRE Menu 16 provides approximately 1,250 calories, a complete and balanced meal for high-energy situations. This particular menu, the Chicken Burrito Bowl, is engineered to offer substantial energy, with a specific ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to meet demanding nutritional needs.

A diagnosis of celiac disease is officially disqualifying for U.S. military service, largely because the military does not reliably provide certified gluten-free MREs. This means that while some individual components may be gluten-free, no official military MRE is certified or safe for those with severe sensitivities or celiac disease.
