Even though I have only been blogging for a couple days now, I have already learned that I am a weird eater (I guess I already kind of knew that!). I rarely have a day where I eat your standard breakfast, lunch, and dinnner. I am usually hungry and need a snack every two hours, but some days my appetite is MIA. Take today for example, my breakfast number 2 (which I guess turned out to be lunch) held me over for so long that I didnt get hungry until about 4:45 for my next meal, which I guess i'll call an early dinner. In that case i'll be enjoying dinner number 2 in a couple hours :)
Workout
Workout
Backtracking a bit, I had a pretty satifsying workout at the gym today that consisted of:
30 min total body weights
~7 min abs
40 min elyptical
5 min walk
This ended up being a little bit longer than I usually spend at the gym, but I was feelin' good so I stayed on the elyptical for an extra ten minutes.
Dinner
When I came home from the gym I was craving vegetables, so I used up the extra brussels sprouts and zucchini from last nights dinner to make a salad that was almost identical to yesterdays.
Roasted brussels sprouts, zucchini, romaine, broccoli slaw, mushrooms, salsa, Fage, and garlic hummus. After this the veggie craving was satisfied! And for added protein and complex carbs:
A sweet potato with cottage cheese and cinnamon.
This was a great dinner but since I had it at 5pm i'll definitely be having a snack or dinner number two at some point this evening!
Do you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day or do you eat on your own schedule like me?
I guess if I had a nine to five job, I would have to learn to eat on a schedule, but for now since im a student and only work part time, I generally get the freedom of eating whenever I please. I like that :)
that salad looks delicious!...although, I'm not sure I'd be able to pull it together the way you did.
ReplyDeleteOn days that I work (3 days a week) and the weekends I eat 3 meals a day on a schedule. On days that I don't work (Mondays and Fridays) my schedule differs a lot. I still will have dinner on the table by 5:30 because that's when I have hungry boys coming home to eat, haha. But breakfast and lunch are kind of arbitrary on those days usually because I'm running errands or trying to get the house in order or whatever. I don't think you're a weird eater - I just think you eat like YOU and that's okay! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to have some sort of schedule...otherwise I wouldn't get the chance to eat. I think my body is so used to it now. I will say I crave things at odd times though.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat at set times each day nor do I get 3 meals in each day either. I eat on my own schedule. When I'm at work, I can't eat at specific times, I get one break in a 12 hour shift and that comes when my tasts are done...so I'm a sporadic eater for sure :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes its nice to have a routine. I usually have 3 meals a day and snacks in between if I get hungry, but everyday is different so I just listen to my body!
ReplyDeleteI actually work 8-5, but sometimes it's still hard to stick to a schedule. When I'm hungry, I eat. :)
ReplyDeleteI eat on my own schedule, because I do not have a regular job. I'll be glad once I do, but for now, I eat when I can.
ReplyDeleteI usually eat 3 meals with snacks, but my meals arent too big.. uaually like 400-450cal meals with 200 cal snacks! it works perfect for me-- im never ravenous nor super full
