This website is very interesting.
http://hprc-online.org/comrad/

It displays the nutrition facts on MRE, FSR and MCW/LRP.

Thanks for the link laughing_man! I see this in the FAQ:

ComRaD is a collaborative effort between the Human Performance Resource Center, Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Command, and United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine.

So if they're working with Natick it seems it's an official (albeit somewhat obscurely located) application. They don't list 2015 menu info yet though, here's hoping that's coming soon

Cool list! Man, the levels of Trans-Fat in our rations just kill me though....

I've been looking for such a database for a while. Very good find!
Deadly amounts of sugar and trans fats

(one shouldn't eat more than 2 grams of trans fats a day...) and extreme levels of selenium. Anyone else noticed the selenium content?Also loaded with sodium but I think soldiers in the field and in combat sweat buckets wearing full uniform and carrying all their equipment...
Daily consumption of MREs or living on MREs for weeks are really just for highly active people and for extreme situations.
This doesn't mean that will stop eating them
