[pct-l] how to eat - question

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I have heard that having a full belly at bedtime helps you keep warm.  
So that is a good reason to have a big meal at the end of the day.

I read something written by a Scottish guy just the other day  
suggesting that large, infrequent meals of mostly fat, protein and  
vegetables is optimal and that small, frequent, high-carb meals is a  
recipe for diabetes even for athletes. Frequent meals train your body  
to behave in a way that promotes diabetes, he says.

Not sure how to accomplish that on a long haul backpack trip. But I  
sure would have loved some veggies (my kingdom for an avocado tree)  
and something to once and for all turn off what I called "the beast",  
the gnawing hunger that could not be fulfilled.
