What regulation dictates what kind of meals we receive through a training period?

I was trying to find the regulation that dictates when we are allowed a hot meal and when we are not

I don’t know exactly, but I’m pretty sure MREs are acceptable for up to 30 days if necessary. I’ve had multiple exercises without a “hot meal”, but rarely more than 5 days. Not sure if the reg. I’ll check with our Dietician.

An MRE is considered a hot meal. There is a timeframe in which UGR and the like are to be entered into the regime as available. Some environments never see anything but MRE. You can ask your food service specialist exactly where to go and see the latest information, which changes based on the situation. Thank you for your service.
