I agree with 2 to 3 pounds of grain per day, plus a pound or two of meat. That's pretty much what Roy Davies concludes in "Service in the Roman Army", as I recall. I've got a small bag of (mostly smashed) hardtack that's a good 7 or 8 years old. Really grosses out the kids when I eat it, for some reason. But it literally hasn't changed since the day I baked it, except for getting crushed.
Don't forget your veggies! Dried lentils or other beans, very easy to boil up.
