4 meals a day?

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Morox

I recent stated on a different thread that I find it hard to eat 6 meals a day since I literally have no breaks at work. Not only that, I have no time in my day to even eat anything while I am working (it also looks bad since I should be working). The only other option I came up with is that I could take whey two times a day. I won't get bitched at for having a drink, so is having that at around 10:00 am and 3:00 pm alright? I mean, is it better than nothing?

Quit that job, sounds like your rights are being violated.

I'm not quiting my job so I can eat two times more a day. Besides that, I get paid good for what I do.

What do you get paid????
What type of job breaks the law and works you 16 hours a day with no breaks??

I work 8 hours a day. I get a one hour lunch. I'm only 19 years old and this town literally offers nothing for a good job. I get $10.10 an hour. It's not a good wage for a living but for what I do and compared to other places, it's decent.

Thats great cash for 19......You do realise they have to give you 2 breaks a day????...so thats 2 meals.....and one before you go in and one after....so 4...the other 16 hours are yours...I'm sure you cand find the time to fit 2 more meals in those 16 hours.

Yeah, it's alright money. Right now, i'm try to get on the same company with my dad for around $30/hour. I already had the chance to take it but I didn't take it (stupid me). So I am trying again.... Anyways... back on topic....

Yeah, I realize about the 2 breaks a day. It's the law I believe. Only mechanics take breaks. The reason we don't is because it's usually slow at the counters and when it's slow like that, it's basically a break. I however don't ever work at the counter. I work in my own department and only I am in it. I'm usually very busy and feel that I need to take a break. I would just feel like a tool asking for one every day since no one else takes them or whines about them. I'm just saying that the other two meals can't be eaten in the day. Only night time, around 2 hours apart (max) which kind of sucks.

Excuses excuses excuses.........we've heard them all

Seriously, where there is a will, there is a way.

Meal 1 - Before Work
Meal 2 - Protein Shake
Meal 3 - Lunch
Meal 4 - Protein Shake
Meal 5 - After work
Meal 6 - before bed

I don't see the problem here

I asked about the two shake thing. I was asking if it was an alright substitute for two meals a day.

Posted by: calalily1972

Yeah but if you are only eating 4 meals a day then no. You really need the 6 meals then you can rightfully supplement 2 of them with shakes.

Posted by: Morox

I can't eat anything with the shakes though. That's why I asked if they are better than nothing.

Maybe if you live in the states.

$10.10 American= $11.50 Canadian.

Not much difference...

Take some fish oil capsules with it.

Or simply make the shakes meal replacements..

eg: grind oats into a powder... Add these + protein powder + flaxseed meal + skim milk powder into a bottle... Adding some wheatbran would increase the fibre and help delay digestion. Then simply add water and drink...

If you keep it in a thermos you could also use real milk and add some fruit too... Just remember to shake it before you poured some out or took a drink.

Dude, who gives a shit?
Ask for them.

Even if I am working a 4-5 hour shift, I always take a break to eat. Always.

protein shakes are better than nothing, yes, but eating four times a day is ridiculous.

You think that's crazy.... When I asked one of my friends how many times a day he ate, he said 2 or 3.... No wonder he's like 140lbs at 6'1" or so....
