thanks guys, again much appreciated.
note taken, its inexcusable not to consume calories while climbing. This provokes another question, do you recommend any decent protein bars that are at least somewhat edible?

none that iknow of. i used to eat a met rx bar on occasion. i dont know how good they where though. how about packing a few extra sandwiches or pre made shakes.

My job is very very physically demanding (Im an arborist).
Other than hydrating, im trying to figure out what foods im best consuming to fuel up for the day and promote recovery from my previous workout. My next meal will be a protein shake between now (6:45am) and 1st lunch (anytime between 11-2)....
Also i go to the gym from 7-8pm, in bed by 10pm, so i feel as if my pwo meals are always limited, which in turn hinders my recovery.

You don't eat anything from 6:45am to 12-2pm?
It looks like your food intake in general is limited..
You need more food.

My body needs 4 eggwhites/1 yolk, 1 cup of oatmeal and green tea. I look forward to it every morning.

thandie, sorry for the confusion.

I was saying that i have a protein shake between X meal (the one in discussion)and my first lunch. ideally this shake would be taken in around 9 and i'd be able to eat said first lunch at 11. But im not always soo lucky. at times i need to wait closer till 2.

Sorry about that!
Having a shake at 9 and then whole food at 12 it's still a long time. Try feeding your muscles before you get hungry. I eat my breakfast at 5am workout at 6am, have a shake at 7:30 and my 2nd MEAL at 9am. Our bodies are very hungry after training. And I'm just a little thing as you can see..
