How many meals does everyone eat a day?
I generally eat 5. Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, Dinner, Evening Snack. Small meals and the setup of my diary allow for lots of snacking

I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and try to have snacks in between, but it just depends on how my day goes. I aim to eat my calorie range daily 0

QOTD: How many meals does everyone eat a day?
When I read that eating more often helped stabilize blood sugar, it used to be three and two snacks, breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack dinner.
But, for some reason, I get a lot less hungry if I skip breakfast, have a snack around 10 (if I'm hungry), then eat a bigger lunch lunch and dinner.0 -
Tuesday QOTD:
How many meals does everyone eat a day?
I have three main - breakfast, lunch and dinner. As a former non-breakfast-eater (the thought used to make me ill) I must say that it is now my favorite meal of the day! I typically have a snack in the afternoon, between 2 and 3. Some days I will have a snack between breakfast and lunch, depending on whether I had breakfast before coming into work or while at work.
I try not to "snack" after having dinner, but a lot of evenings I have dinner before going to a kickboxing class and I am STARVING when I get home. I usually end up eating something involving peanut butter

Hey guys! Sorry to be late on yesterday's QOTD!
How many meals do you eat?
I really prefer 5-6 small meals. I find that i am never hungry if I eat 200-300 calories each time. Right now though, I am eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an after dinner snack. I've cut down SIGNIFICANTLY on nighttime snacking and make sure to eat very healthy if i do snack. so right now i suppose the answer is three meals and one snack!0 -

Wednesday QOTD (for TORIEELIZABETH)
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
I know me, if I don't work out, I will slip into a world of excuses for not exercising that can last months. And then I remind myself that I can always make time for the smoking hot bod I will end up with.
And then I remind myself that I can't let Yellow Team win. Hehehe :laugh:0 -
Wednesday QOTD (for TORIEELIZABETH)
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
sorry guys I had class from 8:30 to 2:30 straight, and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down, therefore the content of my question of the day, LOl, because I now get 1.5 hours to do homework, and then I'm off to work 5to 10. Sigh, so my awesome aunt texted me and uploaded it for everyone. Clearly I have no answer to the question because I can never find time to exercise, so I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has to say!0 -
That's one that I struggle with too! If the day gets too busy or I'm tired, then the workout is the first thing to suffer :noway: I just need to go to bed earlier so I can get up early enough to work out before work, regardless of where my workday is going to lead me ( I either am in my home office ... workouts usually are fit in) or I travel anywhere from 1 to 3 hours round trip in a day.. workouts tend to suffer on those days)0

Wednesday QOTD:
For me my best work outs are done during my hour lunch. I will change and go to the track and jog and also try to do other workouts. On my weekend off - I get up early and leave the kiddies with my hubbie and I go work out at least an hour in the gym or I do my work outs at home. It is very hard but my mind is made up to lose the weight..0 -
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
I do two things: one, set my alarm early and go to the gym at 5:15 am so I get it done before I go to work and two, bring my work-out clothes with me to work. Today, I slept in (until 6...) and ran during lunch even though I'm busy at work and didn't want to. And since I work with only men and they don't care what I look like, I don't care that I come back red and sweaty with my hair all over the place.0 -
Oh, and I've gone 23 miles this week so far. Go team yellow! 0

Wednesday QOTD (for TORIEELIZABETH)
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
My dogs are my kids and a priority, so even when I am really busy, I try to at least walk them around the block (1.5 miles) because I know they need the exercise just as much as I do. Also, if that isn't an option, I will workout while watching TV - treadmill or a combination of jumping jacks, squats, situps, pushups, light weights, etc.0 -
wednesday QOTD: work outs
If I dont feel like working out I think I'd Rather Be Thinner! and I give myself NO CHOICE, get up and do something!!!
I have been one of those sick people that really look forward to my runs, so I was going afterwork, now I stalk the weather channel to make sure I get it in before it rains! (I can't believe I've turned into this!!! Thanks MFP!!!) i have been trying to get a 20 minute dog walk and a 2.5 mile run in first thing in the morning so that if I dont have a chance later in the day I dont have to feel bad about it. I have a pretty physical job (I'm a horse trainer) so if I ride more than 4 horses in a day I dont usually do any more exercise!

Wednesday QOTD
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
My motivation is my kids, I had my last 2 later in life so that means when my youngest turns 20 I'll be 60 (yuck). So I better be around for a long time to come. I try to squeeze in my workouts when ever I can, which might mean doing something at 5 AM after the baby goes back to bed or doing jumping jacks at Midnight. I refuse to let a day go by where I do not get my work out in, I'm doing this for me.0 -
Wednesday QOTD (for TORIEELIZABETH)
How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
This is a great question. I have only recently begun forcing myself to workout even when I'm busy. My motivation so far has been:
1. i KNOW i'll feel badly if i don't and i KNOW that i'll feel wonderful if i do!
2. My fiancee- he helps keep me accountable not because he's riding my *kitten* to do my workouts but because whenever i'm in the middle of doing my floor exercises or stretching and i'm sweating my *kitten* off, he walks up to my and gives me a quick kiss and says, "i'm so proud of you baby, keep going." HUGE boost!
3. I personally prefer working out at night when i go home. I am NOT a morning person. I'm not a mom or anything but i do realize many of you are and that makes you busy to the nth degree! I realize sometimes nighttime is the only time a mom gets time alone. So in my mind, working out at night and taking that nice long, relaxing hot shower afterwards is my little reward for a job well done. Then i get to climb into bed with my fiancee and enjoy a night with him (even if it's for an hour before we pass out!) knowing that I don't have to wake up a half hour earlier than normal to shower and, even better, i don't have to wake up an hour earlier to fit my workout in.
4. I allow for mistakes- if i can't force myself to do a half hour or an hour, i still can handle 10 or 15 minutes. I'll sometimes cut down the length of time but i know i still did what i needed to keep the good habits up. Something is ALWAYS better than nothing.
5. I'm beginning to think that me and the fiancee are taking a cruise around february next year. i want to look soooooooo good!!!! i've never been on the beach or at a pool where i was "at my best" and felt like flaunting it. I want to be able to do that! vain? maybe. great motivator? totally 0 -
Wednesday QOTD: How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
Usually the only thing that works is to think about dessert. I like to have a sweet bite in the evenings while I watch tv and whatnot, so a lot of times I know I need to work out if I want my treat. So I try to work out during the baby's nap because otherwise I'm stuck waiting til after 8pm.0 -

"If I dont feel like working out I think I'd Rather Be Thinner! and I give myself NO CHOICE, get up and do something!!!"
COULDN'T AGREE MORE! it's a powerful thought if you want it badly enough. I'm trying to change my thought process from just concentrating on the number to health and happiness too so i try and throw a, "AND it will help you be in a better mood!" (i'm bipolar and exercise and eating right are, besides medication, two of the most important things to regulate my moods. I always feel a million times better when i'm eating right and exercising regularly. That's why i love MFP. It's keeping me focused!) 0 -

Try a stationary bike or an elliptical machine- something you can read on while working out. I brought a novel with me a few days ago to do the stationary bike and read like, a quarter of my novel! bring you text book and do some reading there 0 -
I try simply to use the stairs instead of the lift, walk instead of drive, run instead of walk (IF no one is looking....). I am afraid to join a gym. I keep on at the 50 abdominal crunches from a previous challenge, but basically this is a hard one for me......
Also, but separately, team yellow - I love the banner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one!!!!!! Tell me how!!!!!0 -
QOTD: How do you motivate yourself to work out when you have a busy schedule?
I try to schedule with a group of people so that I can be held accountable. Failed on that today, but will work out tomorrow!0
