What was a daily amount of food for a soldier during the civil war?

During the Civil War, a soldier's daily rations typically included about 3 pounds of food, which consisted of hardtack (a type of hard biscuit), salted meat (such as pork or beef), beans or rice, and coffee. Fresh fruits and vegetables were scarce, leading to nutritional deficiencies. Soldiers often supplemented their rations with foraged foods or items purchased from local markets when possible. Overall, the diet was monotonous and heavily reliant on preserved foods.
