Why not just eat whenever you're hungry to the point of satiety?</p> <p>Is that an overly-simplistic view?</p> <p>** <em>I suppose there could be a difference in the percentage of nutrients absorbed. If I get too much of a nutrient, perhaps my body will excrete it, so, in that case, it's better to consume it periodically when your body needs it.</em></p> <p>The scenario is being stranded somewhere not knowing when rescue will come - so generally no activity.</p>
