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?
