Lunch today was a sandwich I also had pop chips that disappeared before I could photographed them (oops). I am trying the five meals a day plan and I think it is easier than I thought it would be, I know I am not that dedicated like most people are to the plan, but I make do with what I have and work with what I got. I am not the type of girl who likes to plan my meals ahead of time; I do create a weekly dinner menu but other than that I work on a whim. I see a lot of people who eat five meals and they plan all five on Sunday and eat the meals for the whole week. I think it is very time consuming for me on weekends but maybe someday.
What I realized however that a banana and yogurt can be consider a meal, popcorn, celery, and an orange can be consider a meal; also tuna, corn tortillas, and egg whites make a great meal right before dinner. If I now realized how easy the meals can be and I am rarely hungry then if I just eat three meals a day and one snack. I don’t know if I will keep this up but I am in enjoying the benefits. My energy levels have been up, I stay focus all the time, and weekends are not as difficult as they use to be. So far so good and I haven’t even thought about my cheat meal.
I definitely couldn’t last on only 3 meals a day. I like it have a snack midday. The 5 meal plan seems to works really well. One tip I’ve found is to make my snack/meal and get out of the kitchen before you start wondering to too many snacks!
Even a handful of nuts is a snack/meal. A meal doesn’t mean it has to be a full on course. You just want your system working so it pumps up its metabolism. 🙂
