MREs / ratpacks are not lightweight, and as miro_o suggests, a bizzare choice for touring in remotely civilised country.
If you want to got on an expedition type tour, or just want to be self sufficient in the home counties for the hardcore points, look at the sort of food Appalachian Trail thru hikers take, for instance. The core idea is that water contains no calories, so dehydrated is good. Also fat contains 2.2 times the calories carbohydrates and protein do.
