First short tour

The first week of June I am embarking on a three day two night tour that will cover about 200 miles. I have been making packing lists and what not for quite some weeks now. The only thing that really worries me is nutrition. I tried searching for a thread and I am sure there are dozens about this, so sorry lol.
I will be staying at state run campgrounds so an open fire as well as a homemade alcohol stove are what I will be working with. I plan on bringing trail mixes, oatmeal, gels, powders, maybe some peanut butter... but i am afraid that this will not meet my caloric intake needs.

I realize that i could stop and eat somewhere but i would rather keep this mini tour completely self supported. any tips on foods or strategies for buying certain foods that wont bake in my panniers?

If you all hook it up, i will be sure to publish a nice write up about my tour to the coast
