I woke up today, much earlier then I wanted too..so my eating cycle is much different for me today

Breakfast (430am)
Lunch (8-9am)
Snack (Noon)
Dinner (330-4)
Snack (if enough calories) (630-7)

How do you do things if given a crazy shedule?

  • I'm a stay at home mother, and so my three year old dictates my schedule, as we always eat together, as a family.

    Breakfast: 7 - 7:30am.

    Lunch: 11:30am.

    Snack: 3:00pm

    Dinner 6:00pm.
  • Breakfast around 7.30 and trying to eat every 3 hours as I've been advised this will help my metabolism.

    I try to keep a reasonable amount of calories left for dinner time, during the day I never know where I'll be so tend to take some low calorie snacks with me.

    Try to drink more water in between snack and lunch, and that should help you push dinner back just alittle later........ I have found that if I drink 20 ounces or more of water right before a meal, I am not as hungry and therefor sometimes have to wait a bit longer until I need to eat.
    Also, I try to have my heaviest meal for lunch, so that my body has longer to metabolize the meal. Make sense?

    Mine varies heaps. Work days I have breakfast at 6am, morning tea at 8am-9am, lunch at 11am-12pm, afternoon tea at 2pm-3pm, dinner from 5pm-7pm and dessert/late snack from 7pm-9pm.

    Days off is pre-breakfast smoothie at 9am, post-gym breakfast at 11am-12pm, lunch at 2pm-3pm, dinner at 6pm-8pm and dessert/late snack 8pm-10pm.
