this is enough food (once hydrated) to keep me going for 2 days.

in jersey pockets usually bananas or apples and more energy bars.

If there's a long stretch without resupply I'll add tortillas, cheese and salami which I stuff in the food bag in my handlebar bag.

If I stop at a supermarket at night I carry bigger items like cans of soup, beans, pizza etc under the saddlebag longflap. I have also use that method to carry a couple of extra liters of water. There's also room in the handlebar bag for a small bottle of soda, but that generally just goes in my back jersey pocket along with the candy and bananas. If I need even more carrying capacity I have a 2oz nylon backpack.
