I have taken to eating very little during the day while I'm at work, saving nearly all of my daily calories for my main meal, at home, in the evening. If I have used 400 of my 1200, that's a lot. I usually have at least 80% left. I doubt this is healthy. I always did leave the bulk of my food till the last meal of the day, but now even more so. It's very unbalanced. I usually start to feel quite hungry by about three o'clock, maybe a little later. And by the time I have dinner, once TMM and I are both home, and have cooked something, I might not be eating till nearly seven pm. So far though, it hasn't been unmanageable. It's just that if I leave too few calories for the main meal, I feel hard done by when I see what TMM eats. If he's cooked the odd thing that's a little higher in cals (which he's generally careful not to do, in deference to my eating habits) I want to be able to enjoy it without guilt.
I do find that not having rice or pasta with whatever the protein part of the meal is definitely reduces my calories, so I can eat the bolognese, curry etc with relish and without guilt of excess. Today though, I'm having some protein to start the day, then apples and cherry tomatoes at lunch time. I'll have about 800 left for dinner. I might have to steer clear of a chocolate treat afterwards, but that'll do me no harm as I had a little dark chocolate on both Saturday and Sunday.
