abbeys Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Curious if I should be adding another meal or waiting for morning. I usually eat breakfast around 6:30/7am, lunch at 11:30, dinner around 4:30 and then I am hungry again around 9:30 but don’t go to sleep until about 11pm. Should I eat another meal or stick it out until the morning? Thanks for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted June 19, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2018 If you're hungry, go ahead and eat. You may or may not need a full meal, but even if you only need a little food, try to have a mix of protein, fat, and vegetables, or at least two of the three.

As a one-off random day, that's probably fine. But do know that lack of appetite followed by light or non existent eating often breeds further lack of appetite. Your best bet is to create a template meal and eat as much of it as you can so that you don't end up in that nasty spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about listening to your body within the general frame of the recommended meal template. If you find that you are frequently hungry 3 hours after dinner then look at how your dinner is composed. But these one-offs are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
