I agree, but also I have to be careful, depending upon what I snack on rite when I get to camp. I've had occasion to overdo it with "empty" calories first, then lose my apetite+not have a decent meal. My oh my have I paid for it the next day. Thats when I usually will be dragging all day long, perhaps with thoughts of quiting etc.

I hear ya'. I've come home from long trips (hiking/cycling) losing weight, and continued with a similar eating habit for a bit. Then gone on to put on an extra goodly bit of weight, untill my eating habits catch up with the slower "normal" metabolism. Takes a loong time to lose the extra weight, sometimes not even untill my next trip. -One of the joys of an active holiday: "eating anything you want", and still losing weight!
