The division of meals During the expedition, meals will be divided into 3 parts. It gives the body the necessary energy in the first few hours of walking. These are split into 9 to 10 blocks, spaced out one per hour during the daily trek. The first is light and gradually increases throughout the journey. Their frequency allows the body to remain active throughout the effort whilst maintaining a quasi-constant temperature.
Digestion produces a great deal of heat and keeps the body warm during the evening rest in the tent.
If the meal is eaten just before bedtime, the production of heat is excessive under the duvet causing the body to perspire profusely,thus entailing problems of freezing on the surfaces.
