oh DUH

I scanted $firstmeal and effectively skipped $secondmeal and only brought the usual quantity of food for $thirdmeal. (And it's not $fourthmeal time yet.) No wonder I feel like crap!

This skipping of $secondmeal, mind, happened coincident with stopping at a grocery store on the principle that I really ought to eat $secondmeal but am trying this thing where if it's fast food and/or processed to death I'm not eating it (which eliminates my usual go-tos on such occasions as today: Hot Pockets and Burger King). So I have bread and chocolate-fortified peanut butter and blackberry jam on my desk, and there's paper plates and plasticware somewhere in this office. Having $fourthmeal now and $fifthmeal at home is a thing that could happen. If only I could convince my stomach that it actually does want food!

Gah, food is so complicated and fraught. I hope you can persuade your stomach to let you eat. :/

I am nomming tastynoms! The fridge had leftover chicken breast chunks and leftover pineapple chunks and leftover rice, so I did a honey pineapple chicken fried rice thing.

You have 5 meals a day?

[alexseanchai]

Not big ones! But yeah.

[alexseanchai]

Four or five, anyway. Assuming I eat breakfast, at least, and the fifth depends on how late I'm up.

How do you space them out during the day? How much do you eat at each? What do you call them?

(Sorry about the questions. I've just never met someone who ate more three meals a day.)

~1hr after waking up. ~1hr before going to work. (I don't always get both of those.) Midway through work. Right after getting home after work. ~3hrs after getting home from work (if I'm up that late). So three to four hours apart. I dunno how much I eat at each, honestly--I'm neither gaining nor losing weight, though. And my schedule is so weird that I just call them 'meals'. (See also: getting home from work at midnight-fifteen.)
