Like clasher above, I'm stoveless traveler. My staple is muesli I make out of rolled oats, walnuts, and raisins. I dip a cup in the bag, add water, eat, repeat. It's simple to carry many days worth and to resupply at any grocery. Tortillas and cheese and/or peanut butter is likewise easy to carry, and resupply nearly anywhere. I add nuts and dried fruit, fig newtons and crackers, and anything else on the shelf or farm stand that appeals. I carry about two pounds of food per day, or about 4000 calories per day. For strenuous touring, that's not quite enough and I have to eat extra in town when I get there.
