How Many Times a Day Do You Eat?

All you people talking about work, yuck.

Kimchi.....

you can't beat adding kimchi to almost every meal. it goes well with everything.

 

[Danger1212]

Protein shakes are dangerous for me lol. I could easily drink 700 calories a day in just protein shakes if I don't stop myself. I try to get my protein through my meals.

This could be me….🫨😃

Also I tried OMAD and I felt like it gave me super powers and food tasted so good when I finally ate, but the 23 hours of being hungry was my kryptonite…

How many times a day do you eat to meet your daily calorie intake?

While on Reta I’ve been doing breakfast + dinner and using protein shakes to fill the gaps. Works, but not sure it’s the best long term.

Thinking about shifting to smaller, more frequent real meals.

Curious what’s actually working for people here.

I only eat twice a day and really only eat meat and eggs to make sure I get enough protein.

 

[Danger1212]

Simple breakfast, protein toast, hard boiled e g g, and a homemade sausage patty. Protein shake for lunch and a protein like beef, steak, pork. chicken or fish. Steamed veggie, or cottage cheese and a sliced tomato. Once in a while sweet potato cut in half, or I cut them into fries for the air fryer.

This is where I’m at now ⬆️ and it’s super convenient for how busy I am. I may try three smaller meals a day if I can stop being lazy about prepping food…

 

[TTRich]

I also arrange my day to be 18:6 fasting. No breakfast. Lunch and dinner. Protein and veggie heavy

 

[Danger1212]

Meal three- Chili extra Kidney beans ground beef 93/7
I do Fart frequently, especially since I started Grey Tirz. The weird thing is, they are just air sirens and do not smell.

Love it! 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

 

[DunningKruger]

Collagen coffee @ 11am
Collagen coffee @ 1pm
Dinner @ 6-7pm

OMAD works well if I stick to meat and fat. If I add a carb or dairy, I'm f*ked for the next few days with random hunger pangs.

 

[derekd419]

I'll be completely honest, I've found it very difficult to eat really much at all. I have great success with the "all-in-one" protein/nutrient shakes & I drink lots of coffee & water.

 

[Youarewhen]

OMAD plus a shake or some protein biscuits.

 

[dk2001]

I was having some pretty major fatigue on Tirz. I added in NMNH(NAD+) capsules and after about a week I was back to my normal energy levels. I just got the cheapest one I could find. I ordered the injectable version of NAD+ too but haven't needed to try it yet.

I have tried nad, mots c, ss31. I'm on to semax now, seems to help some.

Your dinner is making me hungry!!!

 

[meeklady]

I eat one proper meal a day, at dinner time, on work days.

I have a yogurt at lunchtime and some yogurt snacks or something similar, in the afternoon, at work. If I'm not at work, I'll try to eat something more substantial for lunch ( soup, boiled or scrambled eggs and toast.)

 

[Zephy]

I need to force myself to eat at the moment. Reta is suppressing well.

If I have breakfast it’s some porridge with lactose free milk & Equal sweetener (1/2 tsp).

Protein shake for lunch or arvo snack made with Greek yoghurt.

Dinner varies but I try to eat clean now.

Most days I have not hit my calorie (nor macro) goal of 1400–1500, so a second protein shake it is.

Question though – how are y’all getting in your vitamins?

 

[paranoidpineapple]

Breakfast 7.45ish- Greek yoghurt with protein powder, creatine, chia seeds raspberries and a few mixed nuts.

Lunch 1ish- chicken wrap/salad or beef mince with sweet potato and salad

Dinner 7ish- Steak/Salmon/Chicken/Beef mince with sweet potato and veg/salad

They are my normal go-to's which satisfy me while taking mounjaro and also fit my macros well.... If I haven't taken the mounjaro in a while I still stick to my meals as much as possible but end up snacking on what feels like 500 kit kats in between meals🙈

Those meals sound great!
You know the Reese‘s peanut butter cups shaped like an egg are? Those are my Achilles heel…😬

They can become a bit repetitive but they help hit my goals... that's what I have to keep telling myself when I'm feeling to lazy to prep/batch cook😂
I totally get that with the reeses shaped egg. The shaped versions seem to taste so much nicer than a standard cup, I was addicted to the bat shaped ones at Halloween🙈

 

[DragonOfTheSea]

Question though – how are y’all getting in your vitamins?

Handful of vitamins (liver sups, b complex, turmeric, NAD+ precursors, multi vitamin) with my morning protein shake.

Gruns multivitamins, and another handful of vitamins (vitamin C, turmeric, d3/k2) with my first meal around 12-1pm.

Last handful of vitamins (taurine, glycine, magnesium) after dinner.

More or less…

Like you, the amount I can eat is minimal, so I like to cover my bases since I have all these sups already.

 

[ultima thule]

For the last 3 years I eat 2 meals per day. I was on keto for the first year, afterwards switched to low carb. Now when on Reta, would call my diet low carb/heigh protein. First meal around noon, another one after gym training which is 7-8pm.

 

[MG9550]

I work from 1-9PM so I usually have a protein shake in the morning and then eat proper food later on around 6-7ish.

Beef mince

What's this?

 

[DragonOfTheSea]

What's this?

Ground beef. It’s a European term.

 

[VegetableIce]

I try to eat around 2500 kcal a day and split in 3 or 4 times. I eat never after 19.00 in the evening anymore and stay fasted until 10.00. Research shows that if you stop eating 2 or 3 hours before sleep it has a big impact on lowering your blood pressure during sleep

Thanks, I figured as much, but you never know.

Small meals work for me, I normally do three squares that are about 400-500 calories and a snack or two. I have fruit or yogurt for my snacks.

I eat every 2.5 hours, smaller meals.

Starting with a whey isolate drink after the gym; around 930am
Breakfast an hour later; 100g greek yogurt+50g sprouted rolled oats+10g chia seeds+10g hemp seeds.
And then every 2.5 hours. Total calories=1900 protein=140g fibre=25g
All very clean. No sauces, no fast food and no junk food.

 

[nacholess]

I have tried Tirz and now Reta, and with both I follow OMAD. It works pretty well. I make sure to get enough protein and vegetables. I usually have rice with it, and less often potatoes or couscous. I am not hungry throughout the day, but I also have no trouble eating my meal. With the meal, I also have a large shaker with electrolytes, collagen, creatine and beta-alanine.

I stick to this routine whether I am working the early, late, or night shift, and whether its a training day or a rest day.

 

[JuneBug1956]

I try to eat every 2 hours. From 5 am -5 pm. Mostly protein , chicken, shrimp, beef etc. I have been low carb for 3 years on this journey. I have spicy olives every day and some fermented food like sauerkraut or kimchi. Food is overall less interesting and I often eat the same thing for a few days in a row.

That’s a solid routine. high protein, consistent timing, and keeping carbs low clearly works for you. The fermented foods are a nice touch too, good for digestion and gut health. Honestly, once food becomes more about fueling than entertaining, it gets a lot easier to stay on track long term.

I can totally relate; Once I find something that works, I’ll run it on repeat without thinking twice… I can totally eat the same thing every day and my wife hates it 😄
