I'll second this, once you get used to eating high fat you'll never look back. search 'keto' and 'lchf'.
Stuff like shelf stable cheese and salami are great.

I expect a gas cooking system would add about 200g + fuel to the weight. Pot,cozy and stove about 100g and empty weight of a small fuel canister 100g for 200g base weight. Options such as Esbit would reduce this by half.
Fuel for 1 will be about 20g per day so an average carry of 250g with 5 days between supplies. This is a third of a day of food @ 750g per day.
I suspect that if you can stomach a diet of largely fat and protein for over a month then no cook will be lighter even with the hidden water in cheese etc but if you want to add in carbohydrates (rice, pasta etc) as most of us consume customarily consume then penalty for the "comfort" factor of a hot meal and drinks is pretty minimal.
