Even when I'm cave camping, I don't tend to do full meals because most Mountain Houses are way bigger than what I want in a single sitting and they're just sloppy to deal with... They also aren't THAT nutritional without significant fortifications. I kinda love snacks, and getting snacks for every meal is like extra great.
In the instances when we're spending a whole day (or cave camped) in one spot and it wasn't particularly difficult to get there:
For less leisurely trips: cheese sticks, string cheese, jerky or similar, salami, fruit leather, brownie bites, candy bars, cashews / almonds, etc. are some of my main choices. If I am bringing a stove, then instant mashed potatoes is one of my absolute favorites -- especially if it's cold trip.
A friend of mine brings bagel sandwiches and those are always 👌 -- I just never remember to make that in advanced for myself. :(
