If I am organised its several sarnies. If each slice of bread is 2" thick with double butter and lots of animal protein and chilli sauce they will surviive a ruck sack. Also, and definately if I am lazy, malt loaf.the optimum consistency for all food and can be used as a sit mat. Other than that as much chocolate as I can find in the house.
Snickers unless I'm sharing a tent with someone with nut allergies, then I usually forego the chocolate.
Haribo of all varieties, usually 3 bags for a 2 day trip, one for the first day, one for the second day and one to hand out on the minibus on the way back, 16 people with spare bags of harribo and whatever other goodies left over= awesome.
Sherbert lemons, these are instead of harribo but it's not a wholly safe prospect to eat them with cadets around (think a horde of 14 year olds descending on you, not fun!).
Biscuits, cake, cheese (strong mature), chocolate, beef jerky (expensive though!), peperami, occasionally a bag of pork scratchings or peanuts. Not too keen on sweets though. I find that the 'whilst-you're-on-the-move' food takes up most room in the pack. If you've got over a weeks worth of it in there it's a lot! Chocolate bars probably take up the least room for their calories but I find too much sweet stuff a bit yucky. I like to have a mixture of everything. If I'm no hurry to get somewhere I'll stop and make a sandwich or crackers with cheese. I wonder what would be the one out of those that'd be most good for you, or suitable whilst hiking rather I don't think any of those I've listed are particularly good for you on their own, but possibly the cheese for it's carbs and fat rather than the sugary stuff?
