What is the best food item to keep in your inventory to fill you up?

If you finish the base game food aspiration you can prepare meals that don't spoil and keep them in your inventory indefinitely.

Perfect stuff. Apples, lemons, avocados, onions. Sims don't have taste buds, apparently, and will happily scoff down an onion raw with as much gusto as a bunch of fresh grapes. Perfect seems to give a higher "gift from nature" moodlet value.
Worth nothing that perfect apples seem to be pretty good gifts too.

Strawberry Carrot and Apple.

I never use inventory for food items---instead, I'll have a sim make something on the grill, put it in the fridge as leftovers, and they'll eat that for like the next week or two

Right, I'm trying to avoid the trip to the fridge. Think on the go or on the computer.

Cakes and items from the Baking skill spoil more slowly than regular food. And are filling.
Milk and cheese from Cottage Living spoil slower.
Canned goods (Cottage Living) might not spoil at all? Not sure, also not sure how filling those various foods are.

Food stands, vending machines, bars, cafes, and lounges are your friends while you're out and about. There are also some protein bars I think you can buy from the spa and bars and also rations from the Selvadorada sales tables. With my sims I tend to prepare large meals and put the leftovers in the fridge and they will just help themselves to whatever is in there when they are hungry. They rarely cook every day, just need to make sure you don't add cake or cookies cause they will choose that over proper meals.

Not sure if they can spoil either (my canning sims has done the chef aspiration), but not very filling from my experience.

My sim always seem to have fruitcake in their inventory since it never spoils. :p
Also, if you happen to get the grilled cheese aspiration and complete it you can just summon a grilled cheese whenever you want.

Placing vending machines about makes quick work of having to never cook. The get to work is my favorite item in buying things right out of it.

Oh fruitcake! Yes that is the true field ration of the sims world.
