Meal timing?

[Emma_Whelan]

I usually get up at 7.15am, but don't have time to get breakfast before I leave so I normally don't have breakfast until 9/9.30am. I also eat lunch around 12.30-1pm, but don't have dinner until usually 9pm.  I also want to start working out in the morning (i.e. getting up earlier to do this), but still may not have time to have breakfast before I get to work at 9/9.30am. 

I also usually snack quite a lot on fruit during the day, which I think will have to change based on what I'm reading.

Is this damaging my Whole30 attempts?

 

Thanks!

If you can get up earlier to workout, why can't you get up earlier to eat breakfast?  You really should be trying to work out a schedule that you're eating your first meal of the day within an hour of waking.  You may also need a fourth meal or a mini meal between lunch and dinner, which is totally fine, just make it protein and fat if it's a mini meal and if it's a full meal, make it to the template.

Yes, you will have to stop snacking on fruit... fruit is recommended as 0-2 fist sized servings a day, eaten WITH meals, not as a snack or on its own.

Eating a few pre-made hard boiled eggs or pre-cooked egg and veggie muffins would take less than 3 minutes.
