Method

Every figure was read from the Nutrition tab of each product page on mountainhouse.com, then cross-checked: stated calories match 4·protein + 4·carb + 9·fat within 2% on all 48 items.
The six multipacks and bundles in the collection (3-packs, kits, boxes) are excluded. Only individual pouches are compared.
%DV beneath sodium uses the FDA daily value of 2,300 mg.
¢ / cal is cost per calorie in cents — the exact reciprocal of cal / $, shown because it reads as a price. Multiply by 10 for the cost of 1,000 cal, or by roughly 30 for a day of eating. Both are ratios, so neither changes with the pouch/serving basis.
cal/g is calories divided by dry mix weight — the number that matters when you carry it. Only pouches whose panel states a gram serving size can be ranked; the rest list “1 package” and show —.

Caveats

Prices are list prices on mountainhouse.com captured 2026-08-23 and move with promotions.
The protein %DV printed by Mountain House disagrees with the FDA 50 g daily value on some items, so the gram figures are used here rather than the brand percentages.
Several products share a name across lines (Breakfast Skillet, Chicken Fajita Bowl, Chili Mac and others). The line badge tells them apart.
