Eating right ain't easy

You can say that again. Eating right ain't easy. Over the last couple of days I've been eating a little irregularly. Indugled in some soya chips last night too. Not the end of the world, but need to be more careful in spacing between meals; for some reason I've been getting fairly hungry so have been having a protein bar extra, by parts, over the whole day.

Also, have been eating sooner than every 90 minutes sometimes. Not really overeating, bur irregularly. Have to try and eat more wholesome stuff, more regularly. Though eating protein won't harm much, but getting used to out of time snacking isn't a great idea. And plus, those bars have all sorts of ingredients; processed food always does. Healthier to grab something fresh or more natural perhaps? Perhaps I should get chana back into my life as a snack - it's the least harmful way with green tea to stay out of harm's way? It's okay to have the bars when there's no option.

Gap between meals

 

Too big a gap between breakfast and lunch (9:30 AM to 1:45 PM; 1 hr 15 mins too late) with only walnuts and a bite of Lean Body bar. When scope for gap exists, please fill with chana or something (high in protein).

 

Basic rules - too much gap between meals is terrible

Messing up on some basic rules again and usually ending up under-eating which is worse than over-eating. It's also less pleasurable, so why do it at all? Must be very watchful. Had an evening meal at 4.30 and then now having dinner at 9.30 with only 3 boiled egg whites at 8.15. That's too much of a gap and results in heavy eating at night. Plan in advance and get something to eat for dinner while at office.

Trying to go every 3 hours

With meals that is J

 

That seems to be the best solution really. And I am easing up a little bit on myself as well, don’t have to be so uptight about sticking to the diet since don’t want the body to get used to too little food or food that is “normal” – so eating broadly right should be enough. As much as possible one has to get 3-4 days of workouts in and calorie overloads and deficits have to be calculated in terms of weeks rather than days.

 

Also eating small meals often will keep everything going good so if it’s the occasional amount of rice /other unsuitable food, one shouldn’t worry.
