What is your go-to ready-to-eat food in the field?

I think my favorite lunch on any day but especially a cold one is the Peak biscuits n gravy.
I don't backpack too much but Tillamook sharp cheddar squares and a meat stick of some sort, and a pro bar makes a good snack.

I'll echo on the Peak Biscuits-n-Gravy.
I have tried several different kinds of pre-packaged items, but I keep coming back to the Peak Refuel. I field strip them for packing and I split some of them for breakfast and lunch.

I pack a wide variety of foods for my own mental sanity and to have a well rounded diet. This year I am adding dehydrated strawberries and cooked bacon strips to my normal food list which consists of a lot of homemade items. One of my absolute favorite foods each day is a Lenny and Larry's Oatmeal Raisin cookie. The calories/ounce is on the low end for backpacking but they taste amazing and has a lot of nutritional value.

My belly fat. It works great and performance on my recent caribou pack out did not appear to suffer.

Dinner is 3 Peak Refuels. Breakfast is black coffee.

You guys are taking this Comfort Crisis too seriously.

Payday candy bars can be sat on, left in the sun, etc and still look like a Payday bar.

Yes! After forgetting about a few Paydays in my pack I've even developed a taste for old Paydays which are noticeably different than fresh Paydays.

How can you eat 3 dehydrated meals at one sitting? That’s mind boggling and I can’t imagine how the dam bursts, when it does!

Gimmie that room temp rib shaped bbq flavor pork patty. Gelatin around it and all.

It is not much of a problem, if I have not eaten all day. If I snack all day long, it can be hard to get even one full meal down.

I have never had GI problems due to the type of food I eat, I poop like normal, though have extra stinky farts when living on prepackaged meals.
