I was presuming very simple cooking facilities. Eggs and noodles cook 
with any facility that can boil water, with no need to have perfectly 
fresh water or clean things. Noodles for carbs and eggs for proteins and 
fats would keep you going for a long time.

Now that I say that, it just occurred to me that it would make sense to 
vitamin-enhance noodles in Japan, much the way they do bread in the US. 
For probably very little cost, you could make a noodle based diet 
nutritionally rich.
