OK, I'm getting pretty tired of bars, trail mix, and crackers w/cheese or peanut butter. What are some of the "different" things folks are munching on while out there?

When those items are hard to find, I usually bring a bag of peanuts and some goldfish crackers...

Anyway, we both kept "feed bags" in our handlebar bags. This was a large zip lock of munchies. We learned that we needed to keep following our tastes and to run from our boredom. Otherwise, we didn't eat enough and would bonk.
In general, complex carbs are better than simple sugars and fats pack the most bang for the buck. Another friend and former AT through hiker is also a nutritionist put up this site based on her research:

Turns out that the lowly pop tart is pretty good!
