Meal Times

[Hoping]

I've had a lot to do this week, so I haven't had a chance to finish the book.

I had a question about meal times.
Does it matter what time we eat? I'm mainly concerned about breakfast. For example, today I had to do some stuff in the morning. I didn't have time to cook breakfast so I just did what I had to do and then I came back around 10am made breakfast.
Should I aim at eating really early in the morning (normally between 6-7am) or is it okay if I sometimes eat a little bit later?

For lunch I eat around noon and dinner I try to eat between 5-6:30pm.

Thanks

Re: Meal Times

I am a single guy and I eat at all kinds of different times throughout the day. My most consistent meal is breakfast between 5am and 7am always. The other meals can be any time for me, I always lost a little weight no matter the mealtime. A lot of my lunchtime meals are breakfast items so I think you will be just fine.

Doesn't matter a jot what time you eat, as long as you don't go more than six hours during your waking hours without eating something. If you get near the six hour mark and are not hungry or planning a meal for some reason, then have a little snack. A few olives or a small piece of cheese will do...

Re: Meal Times

Yup I agree with Sally, I don't think it matters at all, but as for breakfast, I think it's important to have something small even when you get up, as usually it's been more than 6 hours since you last ate, so it's a good thing to have something to get your metobolism revved up.

I eat 6 small meals a day every 3 hours...I also don't follow the 'dont eat after 7 p.m.' etc rule, if i'm hungry i'll eat.
