Boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. They will surely last 3 days.

MREs might be a good choice - I know the US ones come with a water-activated device to heat your food up. They're also about 1250 calories each and balanced for recovering after intense exercise.
Bonus point, you won't poop while you're eating MREs. Those things bind you up something fierce.

It depends if youβre not trying to poop that whole time?
I'm not sure how we're supposed to help OP without knowing his target poop rate. Babybel cheese and canned Hormel corned beef hash are going to produce wildly different results, for example.

Whenever I go camping I pack a cooler with ice and put my perishable food items in there. Easy to grab snacks, like fruit, pastries, and pre packaged items are also a favourite of mine.
Also, having a portable grill helps when you cannot use fire to cook.
Triscuits.
If you're in England look into the Duke of Edinburgh club. It's an outdoors camping club for youth. You should be able to find a packing list and it will have food suggestions.
Iβd recommend cured meats like smoked sausage or jerky along with crackers. I believe you can do cous cous without boiling the water too but I could be wrong there.
There are also some dehydrated backpacking meals that donβt require boiling the water. Usually they are the breakfast ones with powdered milk and granola and dehydrated fruits - theyβre delicious and some of my favorite backpacking food!!
No easy access to fire? Is that because fire is forbidden or because getting wood and/or a place to burn stuff isn't available? If it's the latter, a gas burner is your friend
Ramen and soylent
Lembas bread
Can you share that recipe, Legolas?
Why no boiled water? A small backpacking stove, something like a Pocket Rocket from MSR, is lightweight and can give you a very small, controlled flame that's hot enough to boil a liter of water in less than two minutes. And if you look around on Amazon, you can find them even cheaper than MSR, usually for less than $20. They connect to an isopropane canister which runs about $5.
Get bread and canned fish. You can also get canned tomato soup and eat it cold. And then make sure to bring some fruits or something.
Freeze-dried vacuum-packaged hiking food. A bit expensive though.
