If you know Terry, you know that he will find a way to have lots of chocolate in space. M&M's are a big favorite of his and you can just let them float and then vacuum them up with your mouth. Actually he will be eating 3 meals a day and has one week's worth of meals which he will repeat during his second week in space. Let's see, for breakfast he has things like oatmeal, sausage, cornflakes, scrambled eggs, and yogurt. Lunch includes meatloaf, chicken noodle soup, applesauce, gumbo, enchiladas, and fajitas, and it looks like, he will round out his dinner menu with some turkey tetrazinni, chicken teriyaki, sweet and sour chicken, tuna casserole, fajitas, and beef enchiladas. As I'm reading his menu, I also noticed that he has alloted himself a brownie every day at lunch and a slice of chocolate pudding cake every night at dinner. His total intake is about 3000 calories per day and yes, most of that food is dehydrated. To cook it, he simply adds warm water to the pouch of food and then eats cuts a small hole in it to eat it. He is required to pack his own spoon for use in space, interesting. And the age-old question, will he be drinking Tang? No, it's not Tang per say but they do have powdered drinks that they rehydrate as well. Don't forget, he has to ride the treadmill for 1 to 2 hours per day to prevent muscle loss and burn off all those brownies.
