I've seen people eat nothing but candy and honey buns for months on trail, and I've seen people eat a totally raw vegan diet while thru hiking. Everybody is different when it comes to diets, allergies, foods we like, and foods we don't. This is what I do, and not much has changed in my 10,000 miles of thru hiking experience!
I still prefer to look for foods that are calorically dense, very lightweight or ultralight, foods I can eat while walking, and foods that offer some sort of nutritional value. My meals are more based off legendary hikers like swami(thehikinglife), Scott Williamson, Tatu joe, Ray Jardine... My style is my own, but an evolution from theirs. I know some other hikers out there like me will jive with this type of thing! Simplicity, efficiency, speed, and ultralight food when doing a multi month long hiking trip.
Something you'll see immediately, I prefer to send myself at least a few resupply boxes as it helps me achieve one goal (at least.) I'm not going to hitch hike once on this thru hike and with boxes I am able to send them to places that otherwise there isn't a store to buy from. Think visitor centers on trail, resorts, or bed and breakfasts. This way I can stay on trail more, avoid towns, and avoid the vortex of towns.
Resupply boxes also help me to be more efficient, as I don't need to go into towns, I don't need to spend time in grocery stores, I don't need to think about what I need or track anything down. My box has it all, everything has been considered already, and I can pick it up and go.
That said, I DO NOT recommend others use a ton of resupply boxes unless you have to.
So in this video I show you what I am eating for a 3 day stretch of the Arizona Trail! This is stuff I know I like, I have used before, and all around I enjoy day after day.
I am starting off this hike with about 3,000 calories per day, and as the hike goes on I slowly add more and eat more. About 4 weeks in I'll be consuming roughly 5,000 calories per day for instance. I know at the beginning of a trip I just don't have the appetite to consume any more than this, and towards the end of a hike I will be making more miles, and burning more calories and fat.
These are foods I have eaten on the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Florida Trail, Pacific Northwest Trail, Sheltowee Trace Trail, and many more!

Add chips, nuts, jerky, and anything else your heart desires for extra calories. If you want a more nutritional hiking meal try adding green powder to your bean dinner! I used to do that and it worked great.
