    I avoid snacking. Just my thing. Not that it never happens, but I avoid it.

    So:

    Breakfast: 300-350 calories
    Lunch: 500-550 calories
    Dinner: 600-650 calories

    Basically, I try to eat 2/3 of the calories I intend to by the time I've finished lunch, but I don't make each meal the same size.

    Breakfast: 261 (bran flakes, dried dates, and semi skim milk)
    Lunch: 150-200 (either a can of tuna or about 100g chicken breast with some salad cream and cucumber)
    Dinner: ehhhh somewhere around 400-500
    Snacks: About 400-500 spread over the day. Today was a hard boiled egg (61), greek yogurt (81), 2 home-baked low cal chocolate cupcakes (with frosting - 232), and some lemon sorbet (69).

    On days that I do BJJ/Kickboxing I have a 300-400cal protein shake as well, and on Tuesdays I normally get a pumpkin spice latte en route to the university library.

    ETA: awww yiss today is Tuesday. PSL TIME!

    Roughly 300 each for breakfast and lunch, 100 each for morn and afternoon snacks, and about 500 for dinner.

    ^This (sometimes a little extra for afternoon if I skip my morning snack and sometimes I will have an after dinner snack 150-200 calories).

    Lunch: 600-800
    Supper 700-900
    Snacks: 500-900

    Doing IF and do not have first meal till after 12PM and I am done eating by 8PM. Trying to get in 2200 calories a day, but am still adapting to this new way of eating so I am having trouble getting clear of 2,000 calories a day.
