Since I could eat regular foods (almost 2 months ago) I have gotten into the bad habit of only eating 1 meal a day on average. I don't eat breakfast because I drive an hour to work and eating in the car makes me nauseous, plus I don't wake up early enough to have a sit-down meal. I very rarely eat lunch at work due to being very busy, only eating when my co-worker forces me to go to lunch with the guys. So at night I'll have 1 meal and sometimes a snack before bed.

When I got my vitamin panel back I was 0.1 below the normal protein range. Everything else but vitamin D was good.

I know I need to get out of this habit, especially when hunger comes back into play, but I am not sure how to start again. I am slightly worried that just jumping right in to eating more will make me nauseous.

Can you drink a protein shake on your drive in? I have an hour drive as well but don't have any issues with eating/driving. Even if your vitamin panel is coming back okay how are you getting enough protein in? I would think you'd be struggling not to lose muscle mass if you're only eating once or twice a day.

My doc's biggest concern about people getting back to work was falling into old habits and either not eating or eating junk foods because of being in a hurry. Is it really that hard to give yourself 5 extra minutes in the morning to sit down and have a little bit of cottage cheese or something to start the day?
