My morning iced coffee never made it into my breakfast post, but I snapped a photo on my way out the door. So, here’s my iced coffee with vanilla soy milk. (I’m sure you’re super impressed! šŸ˜€ ) And I didn’t plant my keys next to my travel mug for a photo opp. I was literally on my way out the door!Ā 

Lunch: Not on Schedule?

My stomach started to rumble around 11:00, which was a whole 1.5 hours later than expected. (I ate breakfast at 5:30.) I was super busy at work this morning, so perhaps I didn’t even notice my hunger until then? At 11:30, it felt intuitive to dig into my lunch.Ā 

Today’s lunch was one of those infamous “grab-n-go” meals. I had just a few minutes to throw something together, but I think I made out okay with my selections.Ā 

Nuts, seeds, and dried fruit…Ā 

Mixed into Chobani Greek yogurt…Ā 

A very filling lunch!Ā 

The rest of lunch: grapes and a peanut butter Gnu bar. Not too bad for “grab-n-go.”

I have veggies on the menu for tonight’s dinner since I haven’t eaten one all day! šŸ˜Æ

“Scheduled” Eating

After my morning post, I received a number of emails and comments about my daily eating schedule. I tend to stick to a schedule mainly because I have a full-time desk job, which adds some limitation to when I can take breaks to eat.Ā 

My schedule with approximate calorie estimates:

  • BreakfastĀ @ 7:00, 600 – 800 calories
  • LunchĀ @ 12:00, 500 – 600 calories
  • SnackĀ @ 3:00, 100 – 200 calories
  • DinnerĀ @ 6:30-ish, 500 – 600 calories

I’ve been eating by this same schedule for YEARS now, so, obviously it works for me. It may not work for you, so I encourage you to test out your own “schedule.” You might be surprised when and what works for you. For instance, I used to eat a mid-morning snack, but realized eating a larger breakfast holds me over much better.Ā I tend to eat a larger breakfast on days that I exercise in the morning, and on the weekends, I tend to practice much more intuitive eating.

Do you eat according to a schedule? Why or why not?
