I'm susceptible to dehydration, so I sympathise.... but it isn't macho.  I now have to think of regular meals for a diabetic husband.... they used to carry mars bars when he was in the T.A. which is why that came to mind.  I'd suggest Marathon, which was a meal in itself for having nuts as well, but not under a stupid brand name like 'Snickers' as it is these days. [though I am less against it now, having just found out the name was to commemmorate a pet horse. I can get behind that.]  Trail mix, dried apricots, chocolate peanuts... all good.  I knew a GirlGuide once who used frosties, only she used to eat all of them in the first half hour of hiking, was as high as a kite on sugar, ran about like a labrador puppy, and then crashed 3/4 of the way through the hike.  Everything in moderation and paced out works better....
