Hello, I just started today and I wanted to know what is the recommended time to eat between meals.
For example, I had my breakfast at 9:30 am and when should I have my snack then lunch.
Any responses will be great!It feels like 9:00 is my breakfast time. Is this too late or is this time ok? Also, how late should the lfood intake should be? I’ve heard no eating after a certain time and if you do, cut the carb. Is there a recommended time to stop eating? If my last snack goes out to 9:00, is his ok or do I have to cut something out?
I’m glad I found this post. Eating every 2 hours works for me too. I was going to ask this question because I was getting worried that i was eating too early because I’m not always hungry when the 2 hours arrives, but if I go to 3 hours, I’m really hungry.
Hi, EBurrell. 9 am is fine if that’s about the time that your day starts. If you start work and 6 am, that is too late – you don’t want to be too active on an empty stomach (unless you have early morning workouts, which then would involve loading up the evening before – a whole other matter related to sports nutrition).
The recommendation for the time of your last snack depends on when you go to sleep at night (it is recommended not to eat less than one hour before) – since that last snack is not a large meal, this shouldn’t cause too many problems. You don’t have to cut anything.I’m just Working on my meals planner, I work 12hr night shifts 4 on 4 off and tend to reverse my meals on those days, my day starts when I get up be it afternoon or morning, so on work days at presentI have a light breakfast e.g. Yogurt just after getting up then I have a meal with my family about 1.5 hrs later then 4 breaks at work one being a lunch break then I try to have what would be breakfast on final break about 3 to 4 hours before going home to bed. Is this way ok or should I adjust my ways. I also drink red fruit or organic white tea or black decaf coffee on these breaks are these ok.
