Other than what you’ve mentioned. When I go hiking for long periods of time away from facilities I often go to these staples:
Breakfast: premix portions of dried milk powder and oats to use as instant porridge, add in some salt some sugar and some freeze dried raspberries for taste.
Lunch: a hard tack / cake thing made with flour, oats and suet flavoured with dried fruit. Keep forever and very energy dense and quite tasty.
Dinners: (other than dehydrated meals which are always good for expeditions) couscous. Bulgar wheat. Rice, pasta, noodles. Dried meats and fish. If you’ve got a dehydrator you can make things like dehydrated roast peppers or other veggies. Things like butternut squash, potatoes, onions etc don’t actually need refrigeration, just to be kept cool and dark. Also if you’re not travelling anything you can grow - herbs like parsley, chives etc add so much to a meal.
Snacks: flapjack, nuts, chocolate, dried fruit (dried mango is my all time favourite) fresh fruits etc.
Just seen you don’t have access to a heating element - sorry! That makes much of the above void. Can you make use of an alcohol stove? Buy some denatured alcohol (meths, bio ethanol, methylated spirits etc) and a drinks can, with which you can make an alcohol stove that can be used to boil water and make other simple meals. But be very careful with alcohol stoves they burn with a very dim flame which can make it very hard to see, which can be very dangerous if you spill lit fuel. Take adequate precautions. Also usual notes about burning things - try not to do it indoors, make sure you have adequate ventilation, keep away from children, have plan for extinguishing the flame in an emergency etc.

A safer version that should be more spill proof, I’ve made something similar using graphite felt from a welders blanket before.
