If you're going camping for a while, what's important is to have a good mix of fairly healthy, hearty, quick-cooking bulk ingredients; and having enough spices to avoid getting sick of shit; while still having enough candy and processed shit to make sure you shit regular. Here's how I used to be about it when I lived on my bike:
Quick-cooking pulse (red lentils...never figured out another lol)
Camping Oil
Sandwich loaf (pre-peanutbuttered loaf)
Spices
I would usually have 1-3 spices blends depending on how long I was planning to be gone, and how recently I was in town, and how broke I was + some basics. Specific items are basics, points with multiple items are like trying to capture the essence of a particular blend. Ranked by importance with plusses
Nutritional Yeast +++ (protein and vitamins but will stain your piss)
Lime salt (sold as beer salt) ++
Garlic Salt +++
Lemon Pepper +
Onion Powder +++
Sweet blend: some combo of cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, tumeric, ginger, carrot + (wound up not wanting to put in the effort for hot breakfast much)
Berebere +++
Psyllium Husk
Taco seasoning/Chili seasoning +
"pizza blend": Herbs de Provence/Italian Seasoning + Smoked Paprika ++
Supplement with vegetables, fruits, fried food, candy, dried vegetables, gas station pies, fried food, fried food, fried food, dried fruit?? (idk shit was too expensive) as budget and access allow. My big mistake was eating 'too healthy' early on and not being able to shit. I was in the rare condition of actually needing more candy to maintain my health lol.
Eventually, I quit being vegan because my cravings for fried fish were so intense. It's been a weird journey since then.
