Ok thanks..that helps alot. I'm hoping to do a lot of on the petal eating/constant snacking and i was hoping to only have to factor in one meal break lasting maybe an hour. Is this sufficient or should i be stopping to get "real" food (not gels and powerbars) maybe 3 to 4 times over the course of the day?
I guess i need to visit to search engine and take care of all of my questions pouring out of my mouth lol
