I was trying to think about when i should be having my food packs.. i was going to have two at work 8:30 - 5:30 say one at 9am and one at 2.. but then i would have to try force down 2 more packs between 7 and 10... so.. This is how my day will go...

9am - Pack One
1pm - Pack Two
5pm - Pack Three
9pm - Pack Four...

4 hours between each Pack sounds reasonable... YAY ME!!!
