I agree MRE's are heavy. However, I have packed one for my first day's lunch. For dinners I go with dehydrated meals, reconstituted with boiling water. Mountain House is a good brand (tastey). You could also take Lipton Soup or Side Dishes.
Lunches: peanut butter with bagels; summer sausage, beef jerky, etc.
Breakfast: oatmeal, cereal or granola bars, etc
Snack: GORP (good old raisins and peanuts)
Go to the forums at Backpacker.com and look at all the good threads under Backcountry Cooking.
