Some good ideas already.
In freezing meals for reheating I tend to go toward those recipes that taste even better after being in the freezer for awhile. Things like lasagne, meatloaf, ground beef or ground turkey with tomatoes, cumin, chili powder and garlic (to make tacos) or just a mac and meat dish. Don't forget chili that's frozen and eaten a week later is ten times better than freshly made because all those spices have a chance to work into the sauce.
If you're boondocking away from a store with rotiss chicks then you can make the chicken at home and freeze or you can buy canned cooked chicken. There's also a lot of canned meat options in the canned meat aisle like vienna sausages (taste good with fruit, cheese and crackers), deviled ham (again fruit, cheese and crackers come in handy). Instead of getting canned tuna and salmon we've been buying them in those foil packs instead. They take up less space that way. They're located in the canned meat aisle too.
Nothing wrong with simple PB&J and a fruit or simple veg. If allergic to peanuts sunflower butter works just as well.
Boil up a dozen or so eggs (we use about 1.5 dozen per week). They're a cheap protein that goes with salads, fruits, tuna salad, you name it.
Don't forget jerky. It comes in beef, pork or some specialty stores sell deer jerky.
