FoodStorageIQYou’re not short on food.
You’re short on days.
FoodStorageIQ turns your entire pantry into one honest number — your Survival Runway, the exact day your family’s food runs out — then hands you the cheapest plan to push that day to a full year. Even if you’re not techy. Even if you’re starting from scratch.
See it in action
Watch how FoodStorageIQ works
Three and a half minutes — the trap, the number, and exactly how the app finds yours.
The trap almost every family is in
Your pantry has been quietly lying to you
You measure your food storage the way everyone does — in buckets, cans, shelf space, dollars spent. You sweep your eyes across the garage and your brain hands you a comforting little lie: “That’s a lot of food. We’re good.”
But not one of those things is the unit that keeps your family alive. Days are. We call the trap the Blind Stockpile — a wall of supplies that feels like safety while the only number that matters stays invisible. And the worst possible moment to discover the gap is the moment the shelves are already empty.
The 1,200-calorie trap
Read the fine print on any “1-year” food kit. Most are rated for a single adult eating ~1,200 calories a day — a medically-supervised weight-loss diet, not survival. Feed a real family of five and that “year” collapses to roughly seven weeks. The label promised a year. Your family’s mouths say otherwise.

I found out mine was 51 days — at 2 a.m., with a calculator
I’m Marc Coleman, a dad of three from Kerrville, Texas. For years I felt prepared: buckets, shelves two-deep with cans, a “1-year kit” I was proud of. Then one sleepless night I finally added up every calorie in the house and divided by what my family actually burns in a day.
51 days. Not a year. Seven weeks of food for the five people I’d sworn to protect. I built FoodStorageIQ so no other parent finds their number too late — and so you can go from that gut-punch to a full, provable year on the budget you already have.
How it works
One engine. One honest number.
At the core of FoodStorageIQ is The Runway Algorithm — the engine that does the one calculation your eyes can’t, and never stops doing it. Here’s what it runs, in three steps:
It learns your family's Burn Rate
Add each person's age, sex, and activity. The algorithm calculates everyone's true daily calorie need — the same method dietitians use — and adds them into your family's real daily burn rate.
It converts your pantry to calories
Log what's on your shelves from a built-in food database. Every item becomes calories, and your whole stockpile collapses into one running total.
It divides — in real time
Total calories ÷ your family's daily burn = your Survival Runway: the exact day your food runs out. Eat a can, the date drops. Add a bucket, watch how many days you just bought.
Ten minutes to set up. Then The Runway Algorithm keeps your number current forever — automatically.
Not a spreadsheet · Not a one-time calculator
A complete platform anyone can run
All the sophistication lives under the hood, in The Runway Algorithm. On the surface? If you can fill in a couple of boxes, you can run it.
What changes the day you know your number
- Trade worry for a date. The low hum of “are we okay?” becomes “we're covered through December 13th.”
- Stop buying blind. See how many days a $15 bag of rice adds — before you spend a dollar.
- Never throw money in the trash. Expiration alerts flag food before it spoils.
- Build to a year on purpose. Track your goal — 30, 90, or 365 days — and always know the cheapest next thing to buy.
- It keeps up with real life. New baby, teenager, aging parent — your runway recalculates itself.
Why nothing else solves this
Everything else measures the wrong thing
| Tells you your survival days? | Per-family calorie math? | Stays current? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets | No | Manual — if ever | Dies in weeks |
| Generic pantry apps | Tracks items, not days | No | Only if you maintain it |
| “1-year” food kits | Label = 1 adult | No | Static |
| FoodStorageIQ | Yes — to the exact day | Yes — every person | Yes — real-time, forever |
Everything else measures items, weight, or dollars. FoodStorageIQ is the only platform built to measure the thing your family’s life actually depends on: days.
This isn't a gimmick
The oldest survival formula there is
Calories per person per day isn’t new — it’s how the military rations, how relief agencies feed refugee camps, and how prepared families have quietly run the gold standard of family preparedness for generations. Somewhere between the root cellar and two-day delivery, ordinary families set the formula down. FoodStorageIQ hands it back — automatic, continuous, and simple.
“I built this for my own family first. If it doesn’t give yours the same clarity it gave mine, I don’t want your money — that’s what the 60-day guarantee is for.”
— Marc Coleman, founder

💧 Bonus #5 · $37 value — Water Management
Food buys you days. Water keeps you alive to spend them.
Here’s the blind spot inside the blind spot: families stack a wall of food and store three days of water without knowing it. And water is the supply that fails you first — you can go weeks without food, but only days without water.
So FoodStorageIQ tracks water the same way it tracks food: one honest number, calculated from your real family.
- Log every container — from bottle cases to 55-gallon barrels.
- Your Water Runway — days of water for your family, at FEMA's 1 gallon per person per day.
- Rotate-by reminders so stored water never goes stale on the shelf.
- A 14-day reserve target — the recommended buffer, tracked automatically.
Water Runway
4 people need 4 gallons/day. On your current supply, water runs out on August 4th.
- 💧 5-gallon containers × 630 gal
- 💧 Bottled water cases × 412.7 gal
- 💧 WaterBricks × 414 gal
