I command a fleet escort, so we have limited room for food storage. So dinner is: It's a single cell protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs.
(and beer, lots and lots of beer. If the crew is kept in beer, they are not to concerned with the tatsy wheat tasing nutritional suppliment from the replicators)
That's arguably the most down to earth dietary plan there is with an interesting hi tech twist.
Klingon ships (as depicted in canon) rely on bloodwine for morale.
Federation ships could get away with synthale, which, correct me if I'm wrong has all the kick but doesn't give you a hangover the next morning. I notice the crew of DS9 don't get pot bellies either from spending all their rec time at Quark's.
So if synthetic alcohol doesn't impair cognitive and motor functions there is no reason why it can't be used as a morale booster in compensation for small-ship food rations.
It can also be said that the deployment time of a escort type vessel is could be much more limited than a full sized star cruiser so if a Starfleet base like DS9 is relying on Defiant types and Maelstrom types for interception (or other short-range) duties alone the "combat rations" aren't a big deal.
While warp capable, it doesn't mean that you'd conduct a 12-month voyage aboard a gunship with spartan accomodations. It would likely have support of a larger fleet or allied installation within its area of operations, for engineering support and crew berthing.
How long was the Defiant deployed during its reconnaissance and 'exploration' duties in Dominion space? From the looks of it I guess no more than a week per mission.
Klingon Birds of Prey may be a different topic altogether as they operate more like a submarine on long duration cruises and do have fresh food aboard.

i like to change my answer as to day after doing some doffing i got 7 contraband and load of booze
my crew is a bunch of drunks and they are hiding the good stuff form the captain... they need to be reprimanded for hiding the good stuff and not sharing with the captain
Umm photons, I have a Defiant class ship with a crew of 40 holograms
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Is that correct? I find it difficult to believe that each crew member is consuming fifteen kilograms per person per day. Even if you include all of the water mass in food and premixed beverages (e.g. canned drinks), you still get less than half that at most even assuming four thousand kilocalories per day. Most edible/drinkable materials are not that much denser than water, and nobody is consuming a dozen liters a day unless it's mostly water and they are sweating extremely heavily.
A good observation. I think there is some sort of reserve allotment of food that's allocated 'just in case' - meaning extended deployment without warning, the need to resupply other vessels in case of emergency, etc.

This allows us to get away with having alcoholic ice cream in the replicator menus.
My Tac Officer claims that alcohol is vulgar, yet I caught her in MY quarters drinking Vodka Mudshake.
My Andorian Chief Engineer is very fond of iced Raktajino. I knew something was up between him and my female Andorian Security Chief when the latter recently started ordering Klingon coffee from the replicators, despite the fact that the latter had declared that it "tasted like an oil slick".
Can you send me the replicator recipie for these options? Would be usefull for rewarding my crew after successful Task Force missions...

I have to admit a certain eco-friendliness with your plan.
