Disagree. 3-6 mile hikes are definitely breaking down muscle tissue especially if you have 30-40 pound pack on your back. Do this for several long days in a row you will need to have a significant source of protein to recover. If you want to live off carbs constantly spiking your insulin levels so be it. I think as nutrition evolves in hunting you will see protein will be the corner stone macro unless people are doing Keto, like in every other fitness regime in the world.This is entirely dependent on the terrain, distance, and your current fitness level. Most people aren't breaking down that much muscle to require that much protein per day while in the field. Carbs are going to be more helpful for a 3-6 mile hike, which is nothing unless you're literally climbing a mountain. If you tank on day 3, you're not in good enough shape in the first place.
