Food schedule

Morning Routine

I’m feeling a little like Regis with all these drinks in front of me on my desk. I have chocolate (or strawberry) shakeology for breakfast, green tea and water.  I’m trying to stick with eating 6 times a day, much like I did on Body for Life.  Three snacks and three meals, but not restricting the foods I eat as much,  just watching calories.  It’s very difficult for me to only eat certain types of foods.  Holding back on anything makes me crave the most bizarre things.  (I recall trying atkins and wanting to eat applesauce like crazy, just because I wasn’t supposed to.  Weird) I’ll try to eat what I want and stay within the calorie level using myfitnesspal.  Right now the schedule goes like this: 8am breakfast (shake), 10:30 am snack (orange – I’ve obsessed with oranges ever since I was sick at the beginning of this year,  not sure why.  Maybe I’m lacking vitamin c?), 1:00 pm lunch, 3:30 pm snack, 6:00 pm dinner, 8:00 pm snack.  I may have to adjust this and make the times a little earlier because from what I can remember from BFL, it was really hard to fit in 6 meals a day. Although I’ve timed alarms on my phone to remind me, sometimes you’re in the middle of something and you just miss one.  Planning is key – I need to plan my meals in advance.
