Agree with Shaggy's comments. It is more important to eat nutritious foods on longer trips, where the body is slowly grinding down.
I hate TVP though (on a trip to NZ, we decided it should be renamed Tiny Vomit Pieces). Dried tofu from your average Asian grocery shop is, for me, a much better long trip protein source. Investing in a dehydrator is a great way to improve your meals on longer trips. Red lentils cook much faster than people realise.
Short term, ie lunch at Araps, I'm pretty partial to things like avocado sandwiches. Just make sure you're careful where to pack them! Peanuts, dates.
