If you're gone for more than a day, everyone needs it, and you have to plan for it. What makes planning your food requirements so much harder with outdoor activities, compared to average recreation such as the family car trip or vacation, is the overall concern for weight and space and lack of fast food restaurants along the trails.
Plus, running out of food early is never a good thing out in the wilds, unless you are also into Extreme Dieting. Compared to starvation, over-packing is only slightly better as you contemplate dumping the extra 20 pound bag of GORP to the local squirrels on the last day of your trip!
Planning your food requirements for any form of camping is hard work. As more travelers join your trip, adjusting all the food plans gets progressively more difficult.
