six meals

[Guest guest]

I know that Bill advocates six small meals a day but I haven not yet been able

to get 6 in. I manage five meals, but I am not hungry and do not want to eat if

I am not hungry. I have no cravings at all. Tomorrow is my first free day and I

could care less.

I there anyone else that had a hard time getting 6 meals in.Today I did my

cardio at 6 a.m after drinkiing some water. I waited an hour after I finished to

have breakfast and this is how my day went until now.

7:30 - cottaage cheese and raspberry yogurt

10:30 - protein powder yougurt combo with skim milk

1:00 - 5 egg omelet made with red peppers and broccoli, 1 slice whole wheat

toast

4:45 - portion of salmon (yum) with asparagus and small baked potato.

It is now 7:00 and I have no desire at all to eat anything. I drink 3 litres+

water daily in addition to my decaf morning cofffees and my gingermint herbal

tea.

I will likely have cottage cheese and an orange or small apple about an hour

before bed.

That seems to be all I can manage no matter how early I get up or stay up. I am

just not hungry which I think is a good thing. Does anyone else have this

problem?

Hi Dianne, you didn't mention the portion sizes of your meals, so

it's hard to say. I found that when I had difficulty eating six

meals, it was because my portion sizes were slightly more than I

needed. Assuming your portions are fine, and five meals works for

ya, five is enough for a lot of people. Anything less wouldn't be a

good idea though.

I almost never get my 6th meal eaten.

I try to eat at 7:00a, 10:30a, 12:30p, 3:30p, then I work out and

usually have supper at around 8:00p. I know the timing is horrible

but if I don't take lunch at 12:30p I won't get anything. Some days I

don't get my 3:30p meal until driving home at 5:00p. Then I might eat

half of it cause I'm in the gym at 6:30p. By the time I get home it's

nearing 8:00p and I nearly Hoover down whatever hubs has cooked.

I just don't think it's a problem unless I start waking up hungry or

waking up in the middle of the night hungry.
