Thoughts on decreasing calories through the day?
I get it, it makes sense, I just have a hard time doing it. I don't want a huge breakfast and it feels weird to eat a tiny dinner. Maybe after doing it a few days my feelings will change. I'm all for trying something new, but I just wondered everyone's thoughts on this...? Thanks!
