I generally tour in places with access to stores so I only carry food for a couple of days. My foundation is couscous, ramen, oatmeal, tea bags and honey. I can ride on that for a few days if necessary. I usually supplement that with cheese, flat bread, salami, trail mix, candy bars and plenty of fruit. I will often stop by a store before making camp and buy a tin of stew. In the morning it's tea and oatmeal with some trail mix mixed in and then I ride for a couple of hours until it's time for second breakfast at a diner.

Another thing I find convenient is to keep my food in a large freezer bag, 2.5 gallon works well, in my handlebar bag and food to be eaten on the bike in my jersey back pockets.
