I like to go all out. Granola bars, Mr noodle, sometimes even instant coffee. Sleep in the back of the truck under the canopy. It's nice to spoil yourself. I used to be more hardcore but sleeping under a tarp in the rain with no bed mat got old.

Breakfasts going to be about a hour before day break, suppers about a hour or so after last light, don't like it, go home!
Pretty easy to eat well if you do the prep at home, that's what we do.
I have had so little success the last few years that camping out in reasonable comfort is a larger part of the goal now. I used to feel that unless it was painful it wasn't useful. Grown up a bit over time.
We are always comfortable and eat very well when hunting from vehicle accessable camps. Can't see why it should be any other way.
I've spent my share of nights hunting from a backpack trying to keep the weight down within my budget. Getting a shitty sleep and not getting enough calories will ruin your hunt just as quick as anything else. And it is one of the few things that are within your control on a backpack hunt. On occasion I have skimped on and have always regreted doing so.
Same here, especially the backpack hunts. Our elk hunts or late season deer hunts would be the over-the-top camps. Showers, saunas, extra car battery to power music box. Lap tops and popcorn for movie night (viewing trail cam footages). We even have solar lights around camp and lighting the way to the ourhouse. Used to use wall tents but now it's any combo of tents, trailers, truck campers. Bow shooting range and pellet gun targets. Of course there are many mornings that we do not leave camp because it's so comfortable.
As far as meals go it's not just regular but we try for restaurant quality. Not a place that we lose weight.

As long as I feel like I have energy after eating, I'm good. And one hot meal (house/mr.noodle) a day I'm usually good. If I'm not at least a little hungry, I don't hunt as hard. If I'm not a little miserable, I feel like I'm not really hunting. Plus it makes that coca-cola and mozza burger at A&W that much better.
its gonna take a life time to hunt and fish all this
