well... first thing is to mix your own trail mix... with your fav tid-bits.
i usually take a bunch of two-minute noodles for evening snacks.. and for dinner i usually get those freeze-dry dinner packs (but i take along some good sausage/cabanossi or even some good herbs to make things a little different). obviously these come in polystyrene or paper packs - not tin cans.
i know that if you cook up a whole bunch of corn fritters (or whatever flavour you prefer) they can be kept easily and they are also flat and easy to squash into packs. whats more they´re great for any meal.
i recommend flat bread (pita bread) ... its really yum, and once again its easy to pack.
its easy to add dried fruit to your dessert... makes it nice... just rehydrate for a little while and add to some instant custard or tubed cream ... and they´re light and packable.
and obviously, it doesn´t really matter if you pack too much food... because you packs going to get lighter as the trek goes along.
(if you´re sharing the load with someone - its always prudent to carry the food .. but its a wee bit selfish).
as for lunches, well, we get really good tuna/salmon in thin plastic sleeve like packages...light and easy... with the flat bread.
as for home-cooked food ... well, its just a matter of how you pack it... good stews and such are a good option, but i´d make sure you eat them on the first few nights... to lighten the load.
