My recommendation is to look for real food to eat such as Lipton rice and pasta dishes, Cup A Soup, mini bagels, sliced cheeses, salami, cream cheese packets, and maybe a, couple of ramen noodles (I tend to get tired of these rather quickly) , jerky, salted nuts, and other items from the grocery store. Everything can ne repackaged in Ziploc bags to save space. I have discovered freeze dried foods get real old real fast and can cause gastrointestinal problems if eaten day after day and most taste downright horrible IMO. Maybe reserve them for a meal or two if you have some that taste good to you. For breakfast I like cold cereal with Nido whole powdered milk mixed separately with some sugar in a Ziploc or Cream of Wheat with Nido and sugar which you can add hot water to and let cook in your eating bowl.
Bottom line here is to take food that will be something to look forward to after a hard days hiking or on rest breaks. You can certainly save some weight by going with freeze dried meals, cliff bars, etc day after day but mealtimes will become drudgery and not as enjoyable.
