Thread: My whole day outlined

Yes, not eating all day, then binging at night is not good for you. By not eating all day, you are telling your body that you are starving. Your metabolism then slows down, and your brain stops functioning as well, because your body is saving all the energy it can so you don't die of starvation. Therefore, you likely feel like crap all day (or maybe you're used to it by now :P) and your body is putting on fat even though you're not eating very much. So it's not so much that you're eating a lot at night, the problem is really that you're not eating during the day. Your body can't help but save all the energy it can at night.

So what do you do about it? Simple. Work to get meals at more regular intervals. I go to school too, and it's tough to find the time to eat right. But it's not impossible.

If you have absolutely no time between classes, you still probably have time to fill up a water bottle with water. So make a pre-made protein or meal replacement shake and fill it up while walking to classes, and chug it real quick. If you have 5-10 minutes between classes, eat a quick meal. No, not between EVERY class, but just try to get some food in you every 2 1/2 to 4 hours max.

You may find that even if you increase your food intake during the day, and eat the same at night, you are losing weight. It's strange how that works, but it's definately possible. I hope this helps.

Why don't you eat lunch? Why don't you eat right after school?
It's not that difficult. School is NOT an excuse!
There are a ton of people just on this forum that go to school, and still eat 2-3 more meals than you.

There is no reason that from 6:30 to 3:30 you should be consuming nothing.

You wont get anywhere eating like that bro

Wow - you really need a lot of help! I don't know where to start!

Ok... Start again.

Follow some basic 'rules':

• Try to eat frequently, especially throughout the day. You want small meals - at least 4-5 meals spaced every few hours.
• Watch your overall portion sizes (not too much, but not too small either)
• Each meal should have protein, carbs (with fibrous - such as vegetables or/and starchy or sugar such as grains, fruit or dairy) and fats (healthy kinds - like nuts, seeds or olive oil).
• Get at least some complete protein in each meal (animal products such as meat, dairy or egg or soy products such as tofu)
• Don't just eat HUGE amounts of protein, especially in a single meal. It is a waste.
• Eat NATURAL foods where possible (the less processing the better). This means vegetables (the more the better), fruit, legumes (beans and lentils), grains (whole, rolled or brans), lean proteins (especially seafood, poultry, eggs/whites and lean or game meats), nuts/seeds (linseeds and walnuts esp. so) and fat-free dairy (1% cottage cheese, skim milk, sf yoghurt).
• Limit your intake of the more processed foods (chicken nuggets, muscle milk, bagels, high sugar cereals etc).

Maybe you should read Jodi's sticky "A guide to..." again..? . You could also read this post here.
