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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
