    No cook meals? Spam single serving is a new favorite. Requisitioned mustard packets from wherever.

    My opinion, you'll have a better chance with the 10,000 posts. The way you are going, you will reach 10,000 by mid Feb.

    No one has mentioned peanut butter or Bear Creek soups. Eggs keep far better than many people realize. I also like to bring a frozen pound of hamburger out of town. Half the first night, Hamburger steak and eggs for breakfast the next morning.

    I am not the Wizard of No-Cook Meals--but I almost always do it for all of my breakfasts, lunches, snacks and some of my big "evening" meals (which I may actually eat at midday). Here are some of the no-cook things I have tried over the years:

    Power/Energy bars, jerky, trail mix (for me--my current trail mix is just peanuts and raisins). Sausage (pepperoni or summer sausage), cheese, (or cheese spread), crackers, pita bread, tortillas, bagels, peanut butter, jelly, pop tarts, cookies, juice/beverage mixes to add to my water, cold cereal, powdered milk, instant pudding (prepared in ziplock bags--no dishes). dried/dehydrated fruits & vegetables, nuts of various kinds, single serving meat in foil packets (tuna, chicken, SPAM), M&Ms, granola bars, Fig Newtons (or similar fruit bars), potato chips, corn chips (or other chips). I will buy fresh fruit, veggies, milk, sub sandwich (or other heavier, canned, or prepared meals) at a resupply point and eat them right away at the resupply point--or within 12 hours. Thus, I get that extra variety and extra nutrients every few days--but I don't have to carry the heavy/fresh food with me very far.

    Add calories by adding things like olive oil, sugar, honey, protein powder to food.

    mmm pepperoni and cheese Ok, seriously. I thrive on protein and pack dry vegan protein powder. I have read unfavorable things about soy protein isolate.
