Personally I go for pasta when hiking; grab a can of unseasoned tomato sauce, throw some spices in a bag (basil, oregano, dried onion, garlic powder, little salt, black pepper), and grab some of the pepperoni that doesn't have to be refrigerated until opened for meat. Boil some water, heat up the sauce with the spices and pepperoni, mix and eat. For breakfasts oatmeal packets always work well (just heat water and dump the oatmeal in). Some people get MRE's, but from what I've seen of them they aren't terribly tasty and cost too much. Other than that, for orienteering races and the like where time and weight are an issue grab a bag of bagels and a bunch of harvest powerbars, throw in some protein bars if you think you'll need protein; they all have a ton of calories and can be eaten on the move.
