Anyone have a good inventory list?

I know everyone eats differently. What I’m looking for is a list of basics with enough calories for about 1 month for 1 person?

So, example: 1 -20 lb rice, 1- case black beans, 2- liters water etc An actual sustainable list. Thanks

I'm using Jonathan Hollerman from Grid Down Consulting spreadsheet. He uses a combination of long term storage buckets and number 10 cans to get to a year of food storage for a family of four, as well as information on how to calculate the correct number of calories your specific family needs in order to sustain yourself comfortably, not just survive. The download is at the bottom.

For my family, per person per year (dairy and eggs not included), rounded

Fruit: 200lbs
Vegetable: 200lbs
Tomato Products: 20lbs
Potatoes: 300 lbs
Oats: 20
Pasta: 20
Pancake Mix: 10
Flour: 40
Masa: 30
Rice: 30
Beans (Assorted, dried): 100 lbs
Protein Powders (Assorted): 15 lbs
Seeds and Nuts: 30 lbs
Fats and Oils: 3 lbs
Sugar/Dates/Honey/Molasses: 40 lbs
Vinegar: 2 Gallons
Spices/Baking Assorted: 5lbs

We grow and process a lot of our own food, this the high amount of potatoes, vinegar, and sugar. YMMV

We have a variety. Sunflower, peanuts, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, and walnuts -- some grown, some bought.

Don't underestimate canned, dried, or freeze dried vegetables, particularly mushrooms and peppers.

For a month, just eat the food you already eat, and buy it a month early.

Yes I saw a suggestion that you can make this easier by buying a one-month stock at a time, and then eat the oldest month first as it is approaching its expiration date. So that way you don't have a year's worth of food all going bad at once.
