What I did was take what I would normally eat in 3 meals and break it up into 6. This made it much easier for my brain to understand.

So when I first started breakfast was:

1 egg scrambled with cheese, a w/w english muffin, apples, milk, coffeee

So now I eat "

7 am apples and 1 oz cheese

9-10 1 egg on w/w english with milk

Lunch:

Turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, lettuce, tomato
Carrots with hummus
peach

Now I eat either the whole sandwhich at 12 and then the carrots and hummus at 2
or I eat 1/2 and 1/2 which is fun!!

If you think of all the food you will eat in a day in 3 meals, then break it up into 6 with a complex carb and a protien at each of the six I PROMISE you will never be hungry, and have energy for any workout you do!!

Good luck:drinker:

Eating 6 small meals a day is the best way to maintain your energy throughout the day. A sample day of meals for me is as follows:

Breakfast:
1 c. whole grain cereal
3/4 c. skim milk
1/2 scoop protein powder
1 Tbs flaxseed, ground

Snack:
Protein Smoothie

Lunch:
Tuna Salad Sandwich

Snack:
Protein Bar

Dinner:
Grilled Chicken
Large Salad
