[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 480792, member: 84"] Janet, you could do a brunch not long after waking up. Kidney doctor had a fit that I couldn't do his 5 meal a day plan even with them being small meals. I told him it was going to be a challenge for me to eat 3 a day, 5 was impossible. It turned out to be 2 is my best. So one is not too long after I wake up, the other is supper. When I'm doing good my first meal looks something like this: Hard or soft boiled egg (2 since I'm combining 2 meals) whole wheat toast (1) fresh fruit of some sort or a 8 oz glass of V8 fusion - gives me the veggie / fruit portion Now I can't it that all the time or I'd get sick of it. So it can vary with cream o wheat or oatmeal or just a bowl of cereal in place of the eggs. Milk in the cereal substitutes the protein from the eggs. I'll do scrambled or fried eggs maybe once a week each. Doesn't hurt you as far as cholesterol as much as they'd like you to believe. Gives me enough from each food group to be ok until supper, is a small enough amount that it doesn't gag me when I am not the least bit interested in food. And if I can keep the 2 meals a day going.........I lose weight even if I'm not trying. By waiting all day and eating at night..........well, at night your body is more sedentary, which gives you little chance to burn off what you've eaten. If you're starved by the time you do eat, you're going to eat a lot more than you would if you didn't wait so long. [/QUOTE]
