Op. I don’t stay full, I actively feel hungry before meals. But not hangry since I’m used to it. Drink herbal tea, if I have apples at work I hav one.

I was doing really well until someone opened up Girl Scout cookies in the office. (I only have myself to blame: my daughter is the one selling them and I'm cookie mom.)

Protein shake/oatmeal/yogurt w/ fruit
Lasagne w/ tomatoes and broccoli
Dinner will likely be roast beef, mashed potatoes and a veggie.
Maybe some wine if I'm feeling saucy.

For those who are starving between breakfast and lunch, are you in a workplace where you could sort of spread out the breakfast?

I have a protein shake in the car on the way to Metro, after my workout. When I get to work, I have hot cereal (oatmeal or grits with chia seeds for protein.) About an hour later I have greek yogurt w/ raspberries and blueberries mixed in. By the time I finish breakfast (while working), it's almost lunch.

Not a problem at all. I'm the hard boiled egg poster. Today I ate that at about 9am (at my desk after doing a hard 1hr workout) and just got back from a sushi lunch that I didn't eat until 12:30.

My witching hour for hunger is 530pm, but never in the morning.

Yup, that's how I do it too. There are some days when I'm actively looking at the clock and others where I'm not really that hungry.

This is what I eat on most days.

2 eggs and 2 slices of turkey bacon.
2-3 cups of coffee with Truvia and Almond milk

Salad (mixed greens, avocado, tomato, cucumber, chicken, ranch dressing)
Fruit for snack (grapes, oranges, apples)

Dinner is some kind of meat with lots of veggies.

Drink about 80 ml of water/day

coffee with whole milk x 2

banana

potbelly skinny turkey sandwich with everything on it

potato chips, a small spoon of onion dip

black tea

Not my healthiest day so far, but I'm running a calorie deficit this week so I'm not concerned.

Coffee. Tuna poke wrap. Done for the day...the wrap didn't agree with me.

Are you trying to starve yourself? No way you hit even 1,000 calories.

I’m one of those posters. I’m not starving. Just actually hungry for my meal. I could certainly have something to eat every 30 min. But I personally do better with set meals and the hungry feeling in between.

I agree. Also, if your body is in a routine, then it is not difficult. I feel fortunate that we lived in Ethopia for 3 years. There was absolutely no snack or convenience foods available. None none none. I had to cook every single meal and had no long term storage, and food did not last for a long time. We quite often ate 2xs a day. I was in the best shape of my life living there. There is absolutely no reason to eat multiple meals a day. Americans are on a conveyor belt of food.
