What are some quick, lightweight meals that do not need a lot to prepare that you bring outdoors?

Oh, you want lightweight? Sorry.
Look into "Soylent". It's this powder this guy invented that you mix with water and it gives you a day's worth of nutrients. It's like a tablespoon per glass, too.

Apparently it tastes okay and you don't get sick of it, at least the guy who invented it didn't when he ate nothing but it for a month. He was fine afterwards and he still drinks it for most of his food intake today. And he's normal.

He said it tastes like fruit

My dad brought some of these Uncle Ben's rice deals and some chicken in foil that doesn't need refrigeration. It was a damn good meal after a long day of portaging and canoeing

I'm thinking of giving these a try. Seem reasonably lightweight. Boil for 8 or 9 mins, enjoy. The only problem I can see, would be the tray and stuff would have to be packed out.

What do you mean by "lightweight" OP?

A bag of cheese puffs is pretty lightweight, but doesn't have much nutrient density.

A bag of jerky weighs more but packs a great deal more nutrients since it is more nutrient dense.

So, even if something is heavier, it is actually more space efficient. Stuff like jerky, dried fruit, and nuts are all great choices of good, fast snacks.

i said lightweight meals so i do not mean cheesepuffs or any chips
i mean any type of hiking/camping meal or snack that is worth its weight.

Do you have to add water to these? If not, I have a feeling that they aren't lightweight.

My food strategy, currently, is to eat all no-cook foods, like summer sausage, beef jerky, peanuts, raisins, cliff bars, tortillas, and other snack food type of things. It's lightweight because you don't have to bring a stove, pot, or stove fuel.

nope you dont need water. theyre not dehydrated. you just activate the heater. so yeah they are about as heavy as an MRE package.

Dark, whole-grain bread, aged cheese, and jerky are as close as you can get to Lembas IRL.

Lasts forever, extremely calorie-dense and you can live on it for months.

As for the trash, you can usually just burn that stuff. If there's any aluminum shit that doesn't burn, just pick it out of the fire in the morning.

I forgot to mention a block of cheddar cheese (or any hard cheese. It usually lasts about 3-4 days before it starts to go bad. I've had limited success with breads, though, because they crumble and break apart. Bagels are alright, but they tend to take up a lot of space in my pack, and are really chewy.
