When Do You Eat Your Largest Meal



Recommended Posts

Just curious as to when everyones eats the largest meal for the day? lunch or dinner.< /p>

Personally, I have my larger meal for dinner when I can sit down with the family. Also wondering if this has anything to do with the rate at which I'm loosing weight.

So What does everyone else do??? :hungry:

I try and eat 4 or 5 meals a day - to keep my matabolism going. I know all the lap band rules say 3 meals, but the 4 or 5 mini meals is working for me, so why change? I usually have my largest one at lunch but they are pretty much evenly spaced out with the portion sizes.

I'm telling you, the thing that has boost my weight loss is weight training, I've started lifting weights 3 weeks ago, along with cardio 5 x's per week, and my loss this month is more than the last two months. So, I can see a big difference.

I would say I get the most Protein in at dinner. I can typically eat 2 slices of beef. I read an article about a diet where people eat their biggest meal in the a.m. and they really shed the lbs. You may want to try that or just try and consume a smaller portion at dinner.

lunch and dinner are about the same for me. I usually just have a Protein Drink for breakfast. I have read many times that it is better to have your larger meal earlier in the day, as you are more likely to burn off any extra calories.... but I just cant seem to do that, lol. I am not a breakfast eater.

dinner all the way. I get full real fast during the day time. When I get up I want to eat but I am a bit to tight for a real meal. I am a coffee person and then I eat a small lunch. I have a couple Snacks, but it's dinner that I get a good meal in. My doctor wants me to eat 6 small meals. I have to keep working on that.

It depends on what day it easy.During the week i would have to say lunch is my biggest meal. On the weekends, Probably Breakfast, or dinner..I usually don't eat much during the day..

thank you all. I was trying to figure if the time of day I eat my largest made a difference in how I loose weight, it's not coming off like I think it should. I guess I'm really impatient.

I eat 6 very small meals throughout the day, I find its much easier for me to handle. Sometimes the 6th meal is a hit or miss....sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't.

1 can of Soup a day, serving size two. I hate eating the roasted garlic potato soup, becasue of the carbs 18 carbs per serving and 180 calories per serving, but it is soo good! Then I add shredded cheddar cheese and real bacon bits in it!! It's too GOOD!!! I'm addicted to Vitamin Water too!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
