Healthy you can do without for a week, but dehydrating and constipating will catch up with you immediately.
These threads are always full of LARPers who take bags of laxatives, sugar and salt /out/ and would have a bad time if they weren't just day hiking.
That or you're all Americans who don't know what food actually is.
Another common issue is taking things that require a ton of water to cook, and specifically things that the cooking water isn't good to drink.
Start by taking carbs that are ready-to-eat, that means muesli.
If you ate nothing but muesli you would be fine for a few days and wouldn't suffer digestive calamity in a week.
Then add powdered milk, which means that you can have cereal every morning.
Both are good value in terns of calories/weight.
Then add tea, which weighs basically nothing, is a stimulant and will make you hate yourself less in the morning.
Then add peanut butter, it's got a ton of carbs, is safe to store open and as you're eating musili your digestive system can handle it. regular nuts are fine too.
Dried fruit has a lot of sugar and is good as trail mix, but be careful of laxatives. bananas are fine but if you eat a third of a kilo dried as you hike you will get the runs. Prunes are a hard no.
cheese is mixed blessings, lots of carbs but sort of expensive, but If you don't want to eat butter/ghee with a spoon cheese is a better option.
honey is just sugar but in a squeeze bottle it's far more sensible for your tea/cereal
