9:00 AMlunch / breakfast250159AM seems like the right time. It starts getting warmer and I need to change clothes anyway. I've been hiking for ~4 hours at this point so I'm getting hungry and it's still cool enough that a fire makes sense.

advantages
29
break camp early and start hiking. We hike during the cold morning hours which means we need less insulation for camp and we're better able to stay cool since we're not hiking during the hot afternoon hours
30
calories are regularly spaced out with more calories later in the day when they are needed. This keeps blood sugar higher which means you have more energy for hiking
31
forced breaks means the body has time to recuperate during the day.
32
breakfast / lunch at 11AM means once the day starts warming up, and after you've done a decent amount of exercise, you get a NICE break and a big bump of calories
33
dinner at 5pm means we get another 45 minute break and eat early without being hungry. This also means we can eat food AWAY from our camp which should help with bear problems.
34
After a long dinner break we can then put in 2 hours more of hiking after we recover.

issues
38
protein is an issue but with this schedule I can get in about 102g of protein per day. This is ~22 with breakfast, ~44 with dinner. and ~24 with granola snacks and ~10g with figs and 2g with hot chocolate. if I were to add raw almonds as a snack, to eat at maintenance, that would be another 40g of protein for a total of 140g. Though one issues is that I'm not sure I could physically eat this many calories per day.
39
so I have a 50g gap in protein... which isn't TOO bad. I have 6 granola bars per day so if I could get in 8.5g more grams of protein per bar I should be at 150g
