I get my peak refuels from Sierra for a decent discount and like most of them. My favorite is the chicken Alfredo.

Like the other posts below said, dried mango/pineapple is basically heaven but when I was on a 6 day backpacking trip a few years back, I stuffed my face with dried mango and let’s just say that when I was hiking in front, the guys behind me were not having a good time. Didn’t take them long to figure out who was having a nuclear war with his b-hole. Lol

I like the Chocolate Honey Stingers.

1st phorm meat sticks. I ditched the dehydrated meals. No mid-night pukey burps or upset stomach. Takes up way less room and weight vs nutrition it’s lighter. Prep time is next to zero, weather/wind is non factor. I took a buddy of mine into a spot with the rifle this fall in Idaho and moving forward he has adopted this method after the experience, even though he was quite against the idea prior.

Nothing really healthy. Poptarts for breakfast - generally too lazy first thing in the morning to boil water for oatmeal. Gordita tortillas smeared with honey and peanut butter or summer sausage slices and a slices of sharp cheddar for lunch, dinner.. I'm usually willing to boil water to rehydrate whatever packaged dinner I was able to find that wasn't over 10 bucks. Snacks? snickers usually with wetwipes at the ready as they're usually melty.

Usually its whatever dried stuff is at costco. Jerky, mangos, apricots, trailmix. That stuff can be shoved in a hip pocket or bino chest pocket. Other than that, I've usually been moving too much to bother bringing a camp stove and freeze dried meal, so I'll just cold soak the meal for lunch. Might have to moved on from that because a pack of tuna and ritz is way more appealing and cheaper.

Protien Bars are a good source of energy. Gatorade Endurance Formula (better than the regular stuff you get at the store).
