Why? Who is bringing a pot or stove that large on a backpacking trip?
I would put everyone in groups of 2-4 to share a stove if they have their own or if you're providing it.
Cold meals for lunch is a must though. Cooking a meal for lunch takes too much time.

You buy the meals (bulk discount). They buy their snacks.
