    I usually have a bigger breakfast, small lunch, and good dinner!

    I start work at 8am and can't eat before then so I have cereal in the office which is just enough, i'm not a big morning eater.

    I tend to have a bigger lunch and smaller dinner if my partner isn't home for dinner or a smaller lunch and bigger dinner if he is. But I try not to eat carbs at dinner- I find they sit in my stomach and I can feel umcomfotable in the evening.

    Does it matter which meal you are eating as the biggest?

    The only reason for me having a bigger breakfast is that, in the mornings, im up and getting the kids ready for cohh. Get them off, and than eat.. and I do my workouts in the morning. It fuels me for most of the morning, anf takes away my morning hungers.. which Ill get if I dont eat. I eat a lunch.. usually under 250 cals, and than a good dinner with the family. I feel full for most of the day, and my breakfast really starts me on the right path for the day. If I dont.. I just dont feel right. If i also eat junk for breakfast, sugery and just plain no good.. i feel drained and workout. I usually have cereal, toast(light wheat) or bagle thins, turkey bacon... sometimes on my bagel with Laughing cow light cheese :) YUMMMM! Im just a morning person I guess

    My husband is the same as you though.. he cant eat a bigger breakfast. I guess as long as you have something.. small or big in the morning.. to jump start your matablism, It shouldnt matter.. as long as your in your calorie limits :)

    Whole wheat tortilla (80) with 3 oz pre-cooked grilled chicken (110), 1 tablespoon dried cranberries (25), 2 tablespoons Paula Deen's Peach Dressing (15), and 1/2 cup spinach (5) = 225 calories

    Delicious and filling! Has lots of fiber and protein. ENJOY!
