You folks like snacking! I had 7am Breakfast: an espresso. 1pm Lunch: Chicken with salad and cauliflower couscous. 7.30pm Dinner: Fish and fennel in tahini sauce (looks a bit like a middle-eastern twist on a fish pie) with steamed broccoli and sugar snap peas.

In the UK, we call that ‘elevenses’. Traditionally people would stop at 11 (at home or work) for a sit down, a cup of tea and a snack. The tradition has fallen out of fashion, but we still get a break around that time at school for a snack. I’ve just learnt to cut out snacking in a drive to keep weight down/not have to go on a crash diet. ---

> [@SanVito](#): > > Traditionally people would stop at 11 (at home or work) for a sit down, a cup of tea and a snack. Here, the tradition seems to be reinforced by official practices. Cutting out snacking is one strategy. Another strategy is to have 5 meals (or so) consisting of small portions or low calorie intake. 👍 ---

I have been practicing IF for many years now. Yesterday was no different (except for the food). It consisted of: Morning (6am or so): Coffee. Dinner (6pm or so): A few ounces of Guac and tortilla chips Tuna melt on sourdough Tomatoes and cucumbers Some bbq potato chips Fruit. Vitamins. About 1600-1800 calories on most days according to Cronometer. ---

Around 9am: two fairly thin slices of zucchini/cheddar/chive bread 2ish: a fabulous chicken empanada with light sour cream 7ish: a small brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream I know at some point I had a KIND dark chocolate / peanut butter protein bar and at another point I ate a single size cottage cheese with chives. Since I have a medical issue causing little room in my stomach (still have my native kidneys squeezing everything out), I find I nosh a lot simply because I can’t eat a lot. I cannot eat an entire hamburger or sandwich, as I then get the post-Thanksgiving overeating nausea. ---

Besides plain English muffins you can also get cinnamon/raisin, blueberry, cranberry/orange (seasonal), maple French toast - probably others. I’m not sure if you know what an English muffin is. An English muffin is what they make Egg McMuffins with. The flavored ones have the blueberries, raisins, etc. baked into them.
