1 year out-what is your eating style?

[nillawafer73 1]

How much are you eating 1 year out? Do you just eat meals or do you have a snack time too? How do you deal with head hunger too? Just trying to not get stressed but want to continue losing or maintain. I'm 100 pounds down from my heaviest weight but I'm short 4'0". I'd love to hear some other people's eating habits a year out. TY!

I eat lots of little meals. I know that this is not totally Recommended- but I still have such little room for food a year out. I am hungriest in the am and always eat eggs or Cereal . Then eat a few nibbles for lunch- again at like three - and then small dinner

My eating habits from a year on to now are the same - I just increased calories and carbs as I transitioned to maintenance. First veggies, then grains as I could eat more. My initial loss period was 17 long months.

I do frequent small meals and Snacks. I feel like it helps both my metabolism and with my feelings of satiety. I still don't really feel hunger, but the idea of needing to eat is still ingrained.

I'll have Breakfast, a few hours later a Protein snack like a hardboiled egg, or raw nuts and cheese. Then lunch, and a few hours later another snack, maybe deli meat, Jerky or roasted chickpeas. dinner. I play nighttime snacking by ear. If I want something sweet, I might have a smoothie, a Protein Shake, or if my calories allow, a piece of dark chocolate. Or a string cheese. Or I might just drink Water if I'm out of calories or not feeling genuine hunger. Sometimes I have to eat - I've had a low calorie day. It all depends.

I'm easily maintaining my loss. I never feel deprived. I don't binge or graze. I don't feel the need to overeat at meals. This works for me. My sleeve is just too small to adhere to the classic "three large meals" that other people do, and that made me obese in the first place.

I do track, though. I'm sure not to let little calories here and there add up to a big shock.

Im a sleever with a minimiser ring .... I'm not a year out but around 9.5mths out. I eat two or three times a day with my first meal being at 1pm as I do intermittent fasting of 16:8.
My meals are quite small and depending on what I eat will depend on how much I feel full. I avoid fruit unless it's berries and avoid any carbs that are breads, rices , pastas , starchy veggies , anything that's packaged with too much sugar in it (over 5gm per 100), milky stuff but I'll have cream . I eat predominantly a hflc.
I would be lying if I said I don't eat some crap. I sometimes track my food but with my IF I don't have to..
I lost my weight in around 3-4 mths and have stayed the same up until 3 weeks ago where I have lost a couple more kgs. I'm a low bmier as well lol
