3 meals into 4?
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:59 am
Hi,
Has anyone successfully split their 3 meals into 4?
I have breakfast at 6.30, lunch is at 12.30, and then dinner is often not until 9pm because of exercise classes etc. That is a long time to wait.
I have experimented with delaying lunch until 3.30pm, which works ok, but can be hard when everyone else is eating lunch. Strangely, waiting 9 hours to eat lunch is much easier than waiting 9 hours to eat dinner - I’m not sure why! It might be because my days are so busy and it takes my mind off the hunger.
I have also tried splitting lunch into 2 parts: 12.30 and 4pm - so the amount of food is the same, it is just spread out. However, this feels as though I am not eating enough food at either mealtime.
I would welcome thoughts and suggestions.
