To eat or not to eat.

[ineed2dothis4me 87]

Have been doing really well with my band. I have lost over 60 pounds since oct 14. There are many times I eat a late Breakfast and then around lunch time I am not hungry when it's time to go to lunch. I mentioned this to my docs PA and she said I have to eat 3 meals a day. So my question is this do u eat when it's time to eat or eat when u r hungry? Is it ok to only eat 2 meals a day? I hate to eat if I'm not hungry but she makes me feel like I have to. I really can't change anything unless I eat in the car which is something I have given up. Thoughts, solutions, ideas?

No thought or solution..... Only sharing with you what i do. I don't eat breakfast. I do eat lunch and dinner. If I'm ever hungry later, which is very rare, I eat a spoonful of Peanut Butter. So, I only eat twice a day most days.

I am only eating when I'm hungry......

You need to get 70 to 90 grams of Protein in daily because if you don't your body will start pulling from your muscles. Once muscle loss happens you can not get it back so if anything try to get your Protein in. You do not want that to happen.

i eat when i am hungry

some days its one or two meals

some days it could be three or four

my dr and nutritionist advised me of that also...

like a baby, when hungry, they cry and they turn their

head when full/done.....

It is really important to get in all your Protein, even if you have to add it to your meals. When I wasn't getting enough I was losing hair and muscle and feeling very fatigued and weak.

If your getting that in during the times when your hungry then your good. I will usually stick a Protein Bar or shake into the mix of eating for the day to ensure I get the Protein, but I too will only eat when hungry unless I know I have not gotten the protein in then I'll mix up a shake or eat a Protein Bar.< /p>
