Switchback replies: The secret power food for the trail is peanut butter crackers.  I like the Ritz brand.  But it is nice to carry another brand for a little variety.  Always drink a little water with your peanut butter crackers.  One time several years ago I was trapped just above Guitar Lake below Mt. Whitney.  I had to go UP over the crest to make it to my car at the Portal parking lot.  I was almost in diabetic coma.  I ate some peanut butter crackers and super hiking power kicked in.  No problem.  If you carry peanut butter crackers in your mess kit, you will never be in food trouble on the trail.  It will never let you down.
