How many meals should I be eating?

Hi, I am up at 4:30am and have breakfast at 5am. I started day 1 yesterday and was really hungry by 10am, so I had my pre-wo snack a banana and a small handful of nuts. I had lunch at 12:30 then another small handful of nuts at 4pm before travelling to the gym for my workout at 6pm. I am home by 7:30pm for dinner and bed by 10pm. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We recommend you follow our meal planning template: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf

 

I highly recommend printing that out and putting it up in your kitchen. Being hungry at 10am after eating at 5am is normal.

 

10pm - 4:30am is really not enough sleep and could put a damper on your efforts, aim for 8-9 hours of sleep a night if you can. 

 

Pre-workout snack should be protein and fat no fruit. Limit fruit to meal times. 

 

If you stick to this type of schedule I would suggest 5 am Meal 1, 10 am Meal 2, 5 pm pre-workout meal of protein and fat, post-workout meal of lean protein and starchy vegetable 15-30 min post workout, 7:30 pm meal 3 and maybe try to get to bed by 9:30 and at least get 7 hours of sleep.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I prefer 8hrs of sleep but this next 4 weeks are going to be hard to get that and still fit in a workout after work. After this weekend I will have a bit more time as I will be able to prepare my lunch in advance as last night I was cooking that after dinner.
