In my opinion, take it for what it's worth;
For simplicity it's hard to beat pre packaged foods. Mountain House, Backpackers Pantry, etc. Heathers Choice is a good, but pricey dehydrated choice. Her meals are probably the most well balanced. I cannot stand her breakfast but everyone else loves them.
Making some peanut butter, bacon and honey sandwiches will add some much needed fat early on. "Butthole sandwiches" is the same principle but with bagels.
I would focus on hydration too. I prefer wilderness athlete but any low sugar powder gestation mix should be fine.
Once you get addicted to Western hunting then you can focus on luxuries of DIY meals. Do t get me wrong, you can really fine tune the meals for macros and increase the palatability of your meals with DIY but I have found they take a lot of time away from other aspects. Like training, shooting, studying maps etc.
If you want some simple yet feeling DIY meals try a variation of what I sometimes use.
Add ramen to a quart freezer ziplock bag. Add additional spices. Pack in some foil package tuna or chicken. Heat water and add to ziplock bag. Stuff in beanie or sleeping bag until cooked. Add chicken and eat.
Bring along some of those sandwhich shop mini olive oil packs for much needed fat to add to foods. A hot nice drink is a bullion cube with oil added.
Breakfast is easy and recommend to make. Oatmeal or granola with instant milk, add some extra protein powder in it and place all in a ziplock freezer bag. Heat water and enjoy a hot meal or use cold water for a cereal type.

. I was thinking of bringing some instant potatoes to keep it light. But as far as dehydrated meals go, I was looking to save a little money by making my own.
